Agreed. It was good to meet you last year at the Copia get-together. Look forward to another get-together in Madison in March. This post is also my respite from all the holiday planning at my end as well!

Magic Paddler and Old Salt will be presenting "Customizing Your Canoe(s) for Fishing Success" on Sunday. More details to follow. Cool

We hope to see many of our QJ friends at Copia this year. Last year we decided to focus on a QJ Dinner on Saturday evening. Lunch will be informal and you are free to organize your own thing. The Coleseum is a handy gathering place away from the mayhem of Copia.

We will be at Canoecopia this year, but with a difference.  We will have our 12-year-old granddaughter with us.  Still hope we may make it to the lunch with you guys.  But one of our main focus points will be to get to Jerry Vandiver's music presentations (Anna is a big fan of Jerry's and excited about seeing him "live") so I will have to check the schedule and see how it works out.  Not sure if we will be staying for much of Sunday.

Look for us on the floor, for sure.  Two old folks with a beautiful almost-teenager!

As always, looking forward to all of you coming to our fair city!!!

As OS indicated, we won't make a formal reservation for lunch this year, but I'm sure we can gather at the Coliseum without any problem.

And OS & Magic, let me know if you need anything at this end for your presentation.

We can also talk about a Friday night gathering for those who will be here then.

Has it been a year already?!???

Lunch sounds like a good idea especially as a more relaxing event away from the hustle and bustle of the exhibits. Will have to make the OS and MP presentation on Sunday this time around!

An update.
As indicated earlier, MP and I will be presenting, "Customizing Your Canoe For Fishing Success". Our assigned time slot is on Sunday at 12:30pm in Algonquin room. We hope many can stay for it. MP will be covering some hot topics such as 'which fish finders are best for wilderness fishing?', 'things to do with rental canoes', 'which batteries provide the most power?', ' best ways to mount transducers'.

I will discuss rod holders, tackle box mounts, and other helpful innovative methods to stay organized for fishing.

Several have asked me about Saturday dinner plans. I'm not aware of this years plan. In the past Kingfisher has planned this much anticipated event. To enhance the dinner, it was decided last year that we would not organize a lunch. My hunch would be that if one were to head to The Coliseum over the noon hour, one might encounter other QJers.

Anyway, stay tuned... Cool Wink

Me too.  It will be a short presentation.  In fact, here it is.
