Great Rendezvous for their first rendezvous.
Friday I think they said 325 went through the gate. Not sure what Saturday numbers were.
Food was real good even the hamburgers at the food truck.
I took in a couple of demo's.
NO-BS traps SOLD OUT of everything he had. Vendors made money.
Live auction went real good, no body was sitting on their hands and they spent money at the auction.......example:
The 1st Idaho Trapper Magazine that I put together for them was autographed by the guy on the front cover went for $680.00 the first time (Buyer sent it back) and sold the 2nd time for $160.00.
I sold quit a few of my traps. People were in the spending mod for sure.
