29th ANNUUAL MN TAXIDERMY GUILD CONVENTION AND COMPETITION

[Auggie]

When  : Feb 28th - Mar. 2nd
Where : Breezy Point Resort   Pequot Lakes Mn

   This a a great opportunity for all taxidermists or anyone interested in taxidermy to take in some great seminars and supply discounts.
   For the new and seasoned taxidermist it is a great chance to meet others and get some great advice and tips in the seminars put on by top guys in the various fields of taxidermy. Even if you are not competing you can gain a great deal of knowledge just by attending. You will also get to enjoy the company of many people who understand exactly what you do every day. It is a great time for all
    You can get some great show specials on supplies and save a boat load on shipping if you call and order ahead with many of the suppliers.
     Membership for the year is $80 and you can attend all seminars, vote at the member meetings, receive the newsletter, and a free business card size add in the newsletter. If you decide to compete it is $10 per mount entered.
     The competition area will be open for the public to view from 9 AM to 1pm on Sunday March 2nd. There is a $3 fee to enter.
     We have a fund raising auction for the members on Friday and encourage all donations of cash or merchandise to help off set costs for the show. So if any of you MNO members want to donate to our cause we would appreciate it. Think of it as an investment towards the advancement of quality taxidermy work. The education that is offered at these conventions help to better every taxidermist that attends.
      If any one has any questions please feel free to contact me. If I can't answer your questions I will direct you to some one that can. All of my contact information is on my website. Thanks for looking everyone.

and if you do not want to attend the seminars it is 35 for the membership and that will get you into the supply area for some good deals....
