Convention Questions
Forgive my ignorance...I need a little guidance.
I'm new to trapping and haven't attended a (the) convention in Evart. Was thinking of making that trip. Could someone fill me in on some info.
Is there pre-registration?
A fee?
What to expect...I did look at the demo list that was posted...so that part is clear. But what about the (apparent) vendors and the like?
Should I attend a trapping class before the event, or the one held there in Evart?
I poked around here a bit looking for the info above, and didn't find the answers. If I missed it, please point me to the link.
Thanks in advance

Just show up nice and early and spend as much tme as you can wandering around and watching demos.
I think it is $5/day.
They will have several big buildings filled with vendors, both professional and non. Tailgaters selling stuff outside too.
You can learn alot just wandering around and asking questions and listening.

I recomend that you take the trappers ed.class at convention if possible,probley best to pre-register.Other than that nothing to do but hang-out,learn,spend lots of money and meet/visit with some of the best people you will ever meet

I believe camping is $20.00 for the weekend so come stay and have a good time. You can take the class on Friday and spend all day Saturday visiting learning and buying equipment. By the way the cookout Sat. night is great.
