| I am seriously thinking about going to the Milwaukee show. Is it worth the 7-hour drive? How big is the show?
I am already going to the Ohio show (which I've never been to before).
If you could go to 1 show, which one would it be?

Location: Brighton CO. | I haven't been to a sports show here in Colorado since 2001 when I worked the Muskies INC both. Back in the day I wanted to go to the Chicago Show but one of our fishing friends from Chicago would come out here to go Ice fishing at the same time. The cost of a trip was the same as a cost of a fishing trip too. Both my old ice fishing partners have died off and the winters are too warm to Iced fish here in metro Denver. We had 18 days over 60 in Denver in December and nights the water didn't freeze in my bird baths. I have a few baits to get repaired this winter but I have so many lures I should have the Colorado Muskie show to thin the herd. Even this gym rat is starting to fell the aches and pains of jerking in lures I way be time to start going at a time of year when I can throw surfacebaits or go jig fishing. |

We'll miss covering the shows too. The show promoter feels we offer no value promoting and placing content here and on several social media platforms. His call! |

Seems short sighted to me. I went to the Milwaukee show after seeing a video about it here. That was quite some time ago, and maybe things have changed that much but an opportunity to showcase your event to a target audience seems like something they would want to do. |
