Saturday September 19, 2009 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM Show & Auction

I hope everyone enjoyed last year’s GRAPEVINE LURE SHOW that was able to make it after the terrible hurricane. It has become too expensive to have it at the Hilton and we are having it at a place that really wants our business. The Marriott folks have been very nice and all of you that attended the meet when the hotel was the Doral/Tesoro know how nice the hotel is. For those who want to stay longer or come early, it has a fantastic golf course. For those who haven’t been there, it is just north of Ft. Worth at the intersection of I-35 and Hwy. 114 at the Texas Motor Speedway. It is about 4 miles north of Cabela’s. The Marriot’s restaurant is very nice and there are a good many restaurants east on 114 going toward Grapevine. Sonny Bryan’s BBQ is just south of Alliance Airport in a small shopping center and has great food. Down I-35 toward Ft. Worth is an Outlet Mall and Sam Moon for the wives and on 114 going toward Grapevine there are also a lot of places to shop.
Hopefully we can get some good auction material to show up. If anyone can think of new ways to get publicity, let me know. Publicity costs money unless you have good connections and we don’t have a lot of money for that.
Please call the hotel for reservations by August 19th to get the SPECIAL price of $89.00. Rooms will probably be available after that date but sometimes it is hard to get the lower room rate. Call the hotel directly if you have any problems and be sure and mention the NATIONAL FISHING LURE COLLECTORS CLUB. COME SEE US THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!
