The NTA Convention in Marshfield,WI. was a huge success! I heard talk that this was the largest or next to the largest ever . The fairgrounds were fillled with trappers,campers, vendors and tailgaters. The mood was enthusistic and optomistic.

     The WTA did a marvelous job of hosting the event.We appeciated all the help we got getting into our campsite and to our booth. A special huge THANK-YOU to all the district 5 volunteers for all their assistance! All the volunteers were putting in long hours in the sun and heat but all we saw were smiles and helpfullness.

     Thanks to all who stopped  by our booth to chat or purchase. We appreciate the business. It is good to be immersed in the company of so many like-minded folks, both hearing and telling stories.

      One of the new products we had at the show was the Coon Dagger. This is a racoon specific trap designed on the order of the Little Griz except it has the advantage of having a trigger that can be set off by pushing or pulling. We have them at the showroom and they will show up on the website shortly. They are priced at $20.00 each or $200.00 per dozen.

     Our next Open House will be Sunday Sept.19,2010 from 10 am to 3 pm. Author Kenny Salwey, the Last River Rat will be here to visit and sign books. More details later.

       Enjoy the rest of the summer.                                                                                                                        Tom
