Location: Arlington Heights, IL | Thanks to everyone for all the comments on the show. I'm glad everybody had a great time. I would like to thank all the exhibitors & those who attended the show, without you guy's there could not have even been a show. I really appreciate your support. Some personal thanks go out to The Medina Entertainment Center and their staff. They worked hard behind the scenes to make everything come together seamlessly. To all the exhibitors who donated items for the door prizes and those who donated items for the Grand Prize give-away - Rick Krueger (Guides Choice Pro Shop), Tony Grant (KY Mountain Muskie Lodge), Ty Sennett (Ty Sennett Guide Service) & Mark Gostisha (Frabill). Matt Thompson from Thorne Bros. for doing an awesome job as the emcee, it really made the show. Kirk Allen from Brainerd Lakes chapter of Muskie Inc., Kirk worked hard and long all three days of the event and without his help I would have been lost. Nancy Eldrup from Llungen Lures, who is a goddess in my eyes and willingly gave up her time to help me with anything I needed. Gordy & Jason from Badfish Productions, who captured the show on video for us. Steve Cady (Musky Nut Guide Service), Keith Eldrup (Llungen Lures) & Laura Morrison (Muskies101.com) each were an enormous help and without them this show would not have been possible. Finally I would like to thank the speakers, you guy's did a great job, though some of your bowling skills could use a little improvement. Practice up for next year's Speaker's ProAm Tournament, Chad Cain, Dan Craven, Tony Grant, "Ranger" Rick Krueger, Pete Maina, Jim Murphy, Luke Ronnestrand, Jim "Ten Pins" Saric, Ty Sennett, Gregg Thomas & Matt Thompson.
