how is parking at the show?
Not great. Get there early when it opens or wait till after 1:00 when people start trickling out to open spots or you will probably be walking a couple blocks. Lot next to venue is small. There is more spots behind the Holiday station across street but they fill up quickly. Then after that it's street parking. |

| I would say the parking is fine. The location is in a residential neighborhood so if the lots are full there is ample street oportunities. Its not like there are NOT places to park in close proximity wither in the lots or on a residnetial street... |

| Anyone have more info about Shimano's and Abu's reel repair clinic/service? Times available? Replacement parts on hand? Cost? I'm debating driving down, but only if I can learn how to repair my own stuff...because if I have to wander I'll leave broke! |

Should be fun with a snow emergency.

Location: North St. Paul, MN | When the move first happened, I was very disappointed. I graduated from CSP and feared the parking would be a mess. Well, the last four years there have been great. I was way off and to me it seems there is plenty of parking, whether in a lot or on the street (I've done both). The Ganglehoff is a much better venue in my opinion, too. Way better lighting, more/better seating for speakers and plenty of room to sit down with my little girl and eat a sandwich, rest, etc.
I was apprehensive at first...but this is a well run show. Love it and can't wait! |

| Shimano and especially ABU do have some replacement parts "no guaranty" ABU seems to bring a little more but its always a limited supply so its best to go to that booth first when you get in door or on friday for best luck. |

If the lines are to long stop by the Pimp My Rod & Reel Booth and I can show U how to relube and setup any baitcaster reel.
Drop off 4 or more reels to be Detailed, Tuned and Relubed U get a FREE 5" Power Handle. |

No kidding on the snow emergency comment ! With 9-12 inches of snow coming Friday and Saturday will be out for me, hopefully I can make it Sunday when they get the roads cleared...

.. WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THURSDAY TO 7 PM CDT FRIDAY...
Looks like by mid Saturday they will have everything cleaned up if it does stop Friday night. I don't see Friday night being a gang buster night for any booths at the show. Better bring chips, beer and a TV

Location: North St. Paul, MN | Saturday??? How about Friday?!?! :o) That's my day to go to the expo with my daughter and watch her laugh and have a great time with "dad."
Saturday I spend with my dad and then my father in-law joins us at O'Gara's. Like I've said before...Christmas, new year's, and birthday all wrapped up into one weekend.
Bring on the snow! I'll be there, either way. |
