Did you talk with the event coordinator Katie (360-474-4880)?   I guess I need to talk with Katie myself, because I told I would help with the calling contest (that's usually fun and a good draw for them).

If you're coming to the clinic, the Sat Mar 15th noon - 2pm would be the complete two hours one.  The one Sun Mar 16th at 2pm - 3pm is just going to cover some strategies and tactics (1 hr).     I know we had a pretty full room (approx 75 people) on the Feb 22nd clinic and I heard they were diverting some people to Mar 15th.

I think her name was Jessica. I'll try calling back and asking for Katie.

approx 75 with approx 5 no shows (not as many as the 106+ I had in Lacey a few years ago) ... it was a really good group.

Calling contest people will probably be the store people again, but they asked me to help .... probably keep it pretty simple versus the ones we did in Lacey which were more along the NWTF's contest rules (although also not sanctioned).

JB - Better use your "Yelper Helper" so you don't choke on your diaphragm ....  :yike:  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

The pre-registration guarantees you a spot at the free clinic, but it may (emphasis on may) not limit you from being able to walk-in.   I would think it best to pre-register and not show, than show and find all seats/room accounted for. The pre-registration gives the store an idea of the approximate number of chairs they need to set up .... but since seating is also limited, they may at some point would need to start turning people away.  It may be the case you could call the morning of the clinic or just show up, but then again ........  :dunno:

I did verify with Cabelas - Tulalip that there will be an informal calling contest on Sun Mar 16th with Youth @ 11:30 and adults @ 12:00 at the Conservation Mountain. Katie is ensuring their operators are aware and has now posted on their website under Store Events.    :tup:

***Pre-registration is required by calling 360-474-4880.***

I just called and they said that no registration is required, just come on in. At least, this time the operator actually knew about the Turkey clinic. The other time she didn't have a clue.

I'll be there :) Last time I had plumbing issues so I couldn't make it.

I think it best when you call to ask for the Event Coordinator Katie Sanford - I don't think the operators have a clue.

Man I wish I could go. But i'll be doing a bear calling seminar at the Lacey cabelas. Love calling turkeys. Being a callmaker I get to trade with other callmakers. Today I have 9 strikers coming like a little kid waiting. Have fun every one see you in Colville. Rick
