2005 NFLCC National Show
Louisville, Kentucky
July 19-23, 2005
Update as of Friday, July 22, 2005

This is the fourth year the National show has been held in Louisville, Kentucky.  There were over 670 tables at the show and nearly 550 rooms at the Executive West Hotel, many filled with fishing lures and tackle.

In room trading started as early as Sunday this year and picked up pace during the week.  There were approximately 250 rooms open at various times during in-room trading!      

Show set-up started at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.  The show room floor was full of nice tackle and collectibles and there were many high quality displays this year.  The annual meeting was held Friday morning from 8:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., with several important items on the agenda, including the election of National Officers.  Bill McVeigh was elected as the new President of the NFLCC for a two-year term.  In addition, club members supported an amended proposal from the Board for mail-in voting for the election of the NFLCC President position only.  A committee has been formed to work out the details of the mail-in voting procedure.  Colby Sorrells was elected Secretary/Treasurer of the club.

A very special thank you to show hosts Matt and Robin Wickham and the many volunteers that make this annual event so enjoyable.  Below are some pictures from the show.  Enjoy!
