Boat show ?

[getfished]

Is there a boat show next weekend in Hendersonville ? Anyone going ? Where is the location ?

[old stratos]

not in Hendersonville but at the Wilson co fair grounds at the expo center

[Bassakwards]

It's at the Wilson County Fairgrounds this year.

[getfished]

Well...................... reason for the question is because I talked to a guy today who told me that it wasn't going to be at the Wilson Co fairgrounds this year but in Hendersonville this year. I want to go so I better verify.

I got an email saying it is at the Wilson County Fairgrounds.

They've started advertising it on the Nashville TV stations this week too. It's at the Wilson County Expo Center starting on Friday, February 2nd thru Sunday the 4th. I assume this is the show that was normally at the Nashville Fairgrounds in the past.

Heard on the radio also its at Wilson county expo.

They have a coupon for Sunday 2 for 1 admission.

It's a long drive from Franklin, not sure it is worth it. Hell, it was barely worth the drive to the nashville fairgrounds most years.

Well I live north of Portland near the Kentucky line. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. If you see a well fed guy in a red Champion shirt it just might be me.

don't think it will be that good of a show, not planning on making it.

[huntertn]

Did anyone go friday? I am wondering if it is worth a trip. Is it about the same number of vendors as when it was at the Nashville fairgrounds.

Hunter , just tell them you know Mickey Beck , they will let you in free .....lol

I’ve been wondering the same. Last one I went to at the fairgrounds wasn’t that good. Really want to go if it’s going to be even somewhat worth it.

We went this AM and thought is was a pretty good show. Lots of tackle dealers to include custom crankbaits, etc. A lot of rod dealers(to include custom) and a bunch of folks walking around with them. Saw Phoenix, Charger, BassCat, G3, Ranger ( to include a $98k Icon), pontoons, etc. A really big crowd there today. Probably the biggest I've seen in the Nashville area in quite a while. Lots of free parking but they do need to something about traffic. No traffic control of any kind and only one exit (Hwy 70) open. Since it was free parking I think they should have had all the exits open and someone directing traffic at the Hwy 70 exits. All in all a decent show.

Did you notice any great deals on Duckett Rods by chance?

[huntertn]

I don't use Duckett so I don't know what they sell for so I don't know what a good price is.

But, there was a place in the back corner (left side as you walk in) where the boats were that had some Zoom Baits for 99 cents and they had a display of Duckett rods. Like I said, I did not know what I was looking at so I did not pay close attention but it seems like it may have been buy 2 at $99 each and get one free. Maybe someone else will know if that was right.

[GRR884]

Duckett Rods were 99.99. However if you bought 2, they’d give you one free.

i enjoyed it. Great facility. Spent about $300 lol

[huntertn]

It seemed a little smaller than when it was at the fairgrounds but GRR8 is right, the facility in Lebanon is really nice. The whole show was inside and you did not need to walk outside to get to the different sections.

personally I thought it sucked. The building is very nice but to small. A lot of dealers and boats weren't there.
The dealers that were there only had a couple three in each line. That makes it kind of hard if your shopping for a new boat.
Now if you were looking for a new kayak they had a blue million.
I won't be going next year.
