How does the show in St Charles compare to the old show at Harper college ? Does Rollie and helens have a booth ?

R&H displays at Milwaukee. This year's show floor space is sold out, it's going to be a great show.

Harper was condensed by the floor space available, the new venue is much larger. I don't have a booth count from Harper, but I'd guess a few booths more this year. Why?

I should have a complete vendor list in a day or so, will post it.

Why am I asking if it’s bigger ?
I haven’t been to a musky show in years...just wanted to know what to expect

It's worth going and some excellent eats close by. Besides the best Mexican food I found an awesome Eastern European cafe even closer. Mad ass s-c-hnitzel, dumplings and potato pancakes, plenty of other choices.

Haha! S-c-hnitzel does not pass the language filter.

I have been to harper, and st charles. the only thing I liked better about st charles is you can get a beer. The nice thing about St charles is it is the 1st show and they usually will have all the custom colors. If you wait for MN or WI they may be out of some colors.

I have been unable to find a list of exhibitors. The sight says coming soon. Is there somewhere else I can look?

They have been jockeying some space to get a couple other folks set, I'll have the complete list tomorrow or Friday, if that isn't too much of a wait for you.

And yes, the show booth space is sold out.

Why don't the promoters do any promoting in Chicago?? There has been adds in paper and radio anoucements every day for 2 weeks about the All Canada show. Have not heard or seen anything about the Chicago Musky expo. Not everyone is on Facebook or this website. Didn't see anything last year either.

I can’t figure out how to edit a post so I will post again. Wanting to go to the show next weekend to buy some new baits and gear. I also like to look at the new boats when I go to the shows. So for those of you who have been in the past are there many boats to see?

Thanks

Some good eats near the show:

Los Burritos, best Mexican food.
DRM cafe, incredible eastern European cafe
Portillos, get the chocolate cake.

Plenty of other good spots as well.

A.good bar scene in downtown St Charles if you are staying the weekend.

4 boat venders to my knowledge. I will be running the Lund booth with a few boats including a Pro V Bass, a great musky boat (Ignore the name). See you there, Bill
