Title: Outdoororama
Post by: Jeff on February 02, 2003, 07:50:55 AM
Friday Feb 21st I will be heading down to Novi Michigan and the Novi Expo Center for Outdoororama with the Michigan Forest Resource Alliance trailer to set up the MFRA Display.

I will be in Novi Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday. I will be working the display Friday afternoon and all day Saturday and getting my chance to browse the displays, I hope Sunday. I will be staying at Wyndham Gardens in Novi. If any Forum members would like to visit there or after the shows get a hold of me.

Here is the info for outdoororama. Its quite a show. I think we are basically the only forestry display other then MIDNR.

As your hunting and fishing seasons slow down, don't get sad. Cheer up with a visit to Outdoorama! We'll be celebrating over 30 years of this annual sport and travel show from February 21 through March 2 at the Novi Expo Center. Under a new exciting floor plan, you'll have the usual opportunity to discover the latest in hunting and fishing gadgets and gear with nearly 300 exhibitors. Or, plan for the future and book a once in a lifetime hunting or fishing trip. Choose from Africa, Alaska, Canada, the West, or Michigan's own wilderness. Outdoorama is also a great place to see the latest in boats and RV's. Whether it's a new purchase, education or entertainment, Outdoorama has something for everyone. It's a short family trip from most of southeast Michigan, being located on I-96 at exit 162, just past 696. Here are some of the exciting events during Outdoorama 2003 you won't want to miss:

The wife and I are going down to Grand Haven to see our son this weekend. Depending on what the kids have planned for us, maybe we might swing over and check things out. If you are the only forestry display, you shouldn't be that hard to find. I'll just follow the smell of sawdust.  :D :D :D
