BPS GURNEE IL. (CHICAGO)

[Mark Gross]

O.K. I just made reservations for Gurnee on the 21st of March.The BPS Fishing Classic. Mac is going to be there than. I'm looking forward to meeting him and maybe one or two of the other pro's that are going to be there. I figure the whole family needs a brake.Besides that I need to get one of those 100 mph suits,and a new Curado and rod, couple lucky Crafts.....maybe I should send the wife to one of the Mall shoe outlets about that time.

Is there anyone on the board from around those parts ?

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Hopefully, I'll have my boat full of paying customers on that day!!

Mark...it'll be cool to meet you too!!...Barb should be there and Greg Meyers too...you'll meet a few of us I'm sure!!

Mac

 

[Greg Meyer]

They may have to set up a room for us all... primarily to protect their good customers from the riff-raff that Mac will attract... I can see the Manager now... "Uhhh Mac... just what is your relationship to Mr. Green Teeth there by your booth...no not him the one without shoes"...

 

[David Munaretto]

I live 14 minutes from there - I will most definitely be visiting (just like every other weekend) ;-) Classic is a great time, lots of good deals and interesting people!

[Corey Carrico2]

I am also about 15 minutes from the Gurnee store....look forward to meeting you all there!

[Greg Meyer]

Okay... Now, I think we all should wear our Sunday Bib overalls and straw hats and all ask for Mac at the customer service counter... And, since we are all old friends no need to bathe "that week"... Maybe take care of feeding the sheep and stuff before we show up...

 

[Barb Baggott]

I've got the day off and plan on getting up there to see y'all!! Maybe we should try and meet at a certain time...somewhere.



Mac, what time are you going to be there?



Barb

 

[gone bye bye]

Mac is in Atlanta @ BPS right now, wont be home until Monday. He will be splitting time in Chicago and Springfield that weekend. I will be in Houston, but then again, I dont draw on rods...lol

[Mike Watson]

I will be picking my son up from school and heading straight to BPS on that Friday!



Mike

 

[Mike Levesque]

Gonna be there that Friday also, hoping to pick up a new spinning rod and get some "MacArt" on it, gonna try to get there around 6pm, I'm a good hour away though, more on a Friday afternoon, hope to see and meet a few NTOWS folks, and of course finally get to say hi to "Mac"

and a p.s.- anyone think they might be there around that time, (6pm), that's going to the rally? If so, please let me know because if you want it, I'd have a care package of old but good rods/reels, to donate to that Kentucky Sheriff's youth program I've seen mentioned here, so if anyone would want to take that with it'd be great! Thanks, let me know if anyone that's going to Rally would want to pass that care package along for me, c'mon spring...... egMike

 

[Corey Carrico2]

Mike--

I should be there at that time and am heading to the rally. I'd be glad to tote down your stuff. E-mail me when it gets a little close to the show.

[Mike Levesque]

Thanks Corey, It'd be nice to know that the stuff I or my kids don't use any more would still get used by someone, and by kids in that program would be even better. I'll try to remember to email you about a week before Mar. 21st, thanks ... egMike

 

[Mark Gross]
