BOAT SHOW

[creekboy]

What are you thinking ? Swap meet ?

I am the vice president of the Cooks Creek Community Centre and thought this might be a fun event.  It could be a swap meet or just sell your fishing stuff.
Rent a table for $10.00. Maybe even get some of the fishing retail stores on board.

Less and less tackle booths each year! All the rod and reel manufacturers had there own booths along with major tackle companies but no more? As for boats, everything under one roof for ten bucks! Perfect, would cost me 5 times that to drive to all the dealers around the city plus Elie and out to Kenora!

I also heard of an upcoming swap meet at the Norvilla......I am sure more info will be coming soon.

Great, if you hear anything please post!

When would this be happening? Would it be at the cooks creek community centre? More info would be appreciated.

Are you even talking about the Winnipeg Show?  Which companies all set up?  I thought only Cabela's puts up a meager selection of rods and tackle.  And 29-30 grand OFF the price of boats??

The Winnipeg Show has become a joke!  Topcat has it right, if you want to go to a REAL show head south and hit up the Fargo, St.Cloud or Minneapolis show.

yes i'm talking about the wpg. boat show. I wasn't thinking when I posted this stuff. I must have been in la la land. Yes you are right, only Cabelas has tackle for sale at the show. ok, not 29-30 grand off the price of boats, but I know u can buy boats a few grand cheeper than you could at the dealer. I realize my post was not quit accurate, and I am sorry about that. 8) If you wouldn't mind me asking, when are the Fargo, St. Cloud and Minneapolis shows on?

"Hunting gear to" what...  Are you even from Winnipeg, because you've obviously never been to our Boat Show (and sorry for being negative, but seriously... If someone who'd never been there read this and went looking for these deals and other goodies, they'd probably be sorta' angry with you  WHAT ). (a large understatement ). 

Again, I realize my post was not accurate and I am sorry about that. Sorry for posting false information.

No problem.

The Fargo show is this weekend.  Which I will be hitting up.  Been going for the past 3 years.

The Minneapolis show is in a couple weeks...http://www.northwestsportshow.com/

The St.Cloud show is always in the beginning of December.

Not sure, sounds like the end of April would be a good time to have a swap or fishing sale. Just thought this would be a good idea to have since there has been some interest on this.
Maybe I need a new thread to post this.

Some interest but Is there enough interest ? Maybe a survey post . I guess we hi jacked the Boat show post . Sorry about that . The Boat show is a great place to check out new boats if your in the market .

1st annual...

[hoghammer]

There are signs on the ice at Balsam about the swap meet at the Norvilla. Its in April. I think it said the 17th. Dont know if they put signs out at chalet or not. Sounds like a good idea though. I stopped going to the boat show because there is nothing really different from the previous years. Cabellas is the only tackle store there and usually the deals are on stuff they cant sell not what you are probably looking for.

henderson highway

Where's THAT, Rog 

[manitobawalleye]

from east selkirk i would go across the bridge in selkirk
on main street selkirk turn left and go down main street to lockport
turn left at the lights and go to highway 59 and turn right
take the east perimeter around  to pembina highway
turn right on pembina and go all the way down pembina until it turns into memorial
go down memorial and turn right on portage avenue and go to main street
turn left on main and then right on disraeli freeway until it turns into henderson highway
take henderson highway almost to the perimeter and it is on the right hand side....
just before the norvilla on the left is a mcdonalds....could you pick me up a cheeseburger?

Perfect directions, right on the door step.

I hear Bob makes a great cheeseburger at Pro-Am... wait, how do I get to Pro-Am... is it anywhere near Balsam Bay  Never mind  ... how about a Walker's chili dog, instead... some guy on the radio says they're waaaaaay better than cheeseburgers, anyway... you've supposedly gotta' eat 'em before you go hunting "toothy critters" in that province to the East of us. Wish I could remember how to get there, I hear they make a decent BLT in some place called Wawa... anyone know how to get there Last time I went looking, I ended up in Toronto at some carnival (believe they called it the CNE or something). They made a decent corn dog, though... no BLT's, lousy chili dog's, and I won't even talk about their cheeseburgers  . I got a decent picture of the CN Tower, just to prove I was actually there  8).



Damn, now I'm hungry... road trip, anyone  ?

[manitobawalleye]

isn't that the calgary tower? there is no mountains near toronto

[topcat3820]

Wow, I must've been totally lost  !!! Mmmmmmm, mountains...
