2008 Rochester Minnesota
Fishing Tackle Show and Swap Meet
SHOW PHOTOS

The 2008 Rochester Minnesota Fishing Tackle Show and Swap meet was a great success.  We had a new show location this year which worked out well for in-room trading and the show itself.  We had 82 tables of tackle for sale and display.  Attendance by the public was good again this year with slightly more attending this year, than last.  We had a lot of items come in for the auction.  Silent auctions ran from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., non-stop!  We sold three times as many items this year as last.  We also signed up 6 new members for the NFLCC and 1 former Club member renewed their membership.  We had drawings for a free table, a free room night and two great door prizes.  We also raffled off a 2008 Club Decoy (these are sold out) and raised a lot of money for the Club Shop.

Thanks to everyone who attended and made this such a great show!   Special thanks to David, John, Barb, Tim, Mike and others that helped organize and advertise the show again this year.
