I hope I am OK posting this here. The catfish Study Group's convention in February 2007 is the largest scheduled Catfish event of the year and is one not to be missed. The effort to get there will be well worth it.
No This is totally independent of the PVAS's Bi annual event. We have been holding catfish conventions every year since 1978, although it has only been the last couple of years that we have made them weekend events.
Did I mention that I have negotiated happy hour prices during the Friday & Saturday evening dinners and that we have the dining room bar till midnight.
