The planning for our 10th Annual FREE expo has progressed. It is scheduled for Sunday, February 10th 2008 at the Holiday Inn in Taunton MA (best parking situation to date, premium food, drinks, phenomenal layout, and even a place to spend the night – DIRECTIONS and PICTURES at the bottom of the page).
Due to the promotional ideas we’re already planning for the future, this is likely to be our last fly-fishing expo. Since this is the tenth year of the show, we’re doing it on a weekend so it will last all day. And who better to close out the 10-year legacy of the “Bear’s Den Fly-Fishing Expo” than our good friend Bernard “Lefty” Kreh.
Doors open at 11am and close at 7 pm.
