2016 Call Makers Show in Unicoi

[M Sharpe]

I am glad to announce that a Custom Call Makers show will be held back in Unicoi next year. Unicoi has graciously agreed to host this show the first year free of charge. This show was once a booming show where custom callmakers and hunters gathered! I know many of you probably never heard of Unicoi. It is located near the mountain city of Helen, GA. This is what Russell Beard and myself are trying to resurrect. As of now, the dates are January 15th, 16th, and possibly the 17th of 2016. I know this is a ways off, but we, and hopefully you too, want to see this thing back at the top where it used to be.This show is in no way iffiliated with the NWTF. This show is for you!
I've already had a good many of the old gang at Unicoi express their desire to see such a show. If you want more information, feel free to contact me through a pm and I will give you mine and Russell's phone number along with our email address.
The one thing I will need, from those wanting to set up as a vendor, is something in writing such as an email or snail mail, letting us know that you will be there. Unicoi request that we give them a number of guest that will be participating. They have agreed on a special room rate as well for those staying there during the show. There will be no banquet! Only a gathering of folks with the same interest....the wild turkey!

Hey Mark, if The Lord blesses me to live another year, I plan on having a booth there this January. I am excited that you and Russell have put this show together. It looks like you already have a good list of old school vendors committed to attend the show. This should be a blast! Give me a call if I can help you or Russell in any way.
