Anyone going out to Susquehanna Tackle today or tomorrow for their Bass Fest ? Can'y make either day myself but it looks like they have a good line-up of speakers/seminars.

Trying to get there tomorrow...not sure if I will though. I agree, looks like a good line up of speakers.
No. Did see today that it appears they won't be at the Oaks show either.

The Suffern, NY show is pretty good. Depending on where you live, it might be worth the drive.
I have worked a lot of consumer shows over the years. The cost of attending is substantial when you consider the booth fees, electric and other services, hotels, meals, pro-staff helpers, etc. and some of these folks have to shut down their regular retail location to attend. They have to see a decent return to justify these expenses, and show sales have been sliding for a lot of them. The combination of big spring/fall promotions at BPS and Cabelas along with the rapid growth of internet sales have really hurt these shows. Having said that, I will still go to the Harrisburg Show because it's close to home and I still see some interesting things there.
Does the H-Burg show still have much in the way of fishing?

There were a few fishing exhibitors in one of the hall's last year, nothing big. I've been going up to the Suffern, Ny show for the past few years...now that's a fishing show. You can walk through the entire show in a couple of hours, but it is predominantly fishing. SFT is there as are several other tackle vendors. I've been able to find some good buys there. They have also had some good presenters as well.
I think "Smallmouth Crush" is going to be at Harrisburg this year. Not sure if he is presenting or representing tackle in a booth...maybe both.
Man, brings back memories of the old Bass Expo in Timonium looked forward to going on those cold winter day's.

I wish it wasn't so far from me. I used to do the Sufferin NY show but it is more and more outfitters. I only go to
the WACKY WORM Spring sale now. It is 99% fishing tackle and with 15% off, I save for the year.
