There are four venues that are supposedly giving bids. ( really). The bids are in case Illinois shuts down Sparta. I cannot confirm all the venues are actually bidding. Those venues are San Antonio, Cardinal Center, Missouri, and Tucson. I report. You decide. merlo out
Just for the fun of it, and to play a low-key Devil's Advocate, I'll answer your question with a question: does anybody really care?
If its at Sparta, San Antonio(never heard they were even in the running), Missouri or the Cardinal Center we should have an official meet and greet or at least a cocktail mixer. It would be a great opportunity to put names to faces! Especially if its at the Cardinal Center. I know most here would attend it there(CC) than any other venue. Tucson I think, it would be hot, but it's a dry heat right...
Brad M If it is at Sparta, San Antonio, Missouri, or Tucson, I will be spending my money at the Cardinal Classic. If Gipson, Bradford, or any of the 2012 Pull Creeps are at the CC I will be fishing. Meet me at Berlin reservoir or Alum Creek. FG and a bunch from the site are often under the pavilion at the CC.
I’ve told myself I’m going to get over there to shoot this year for sure, just not sure for what event I can make it. let’s hope the ammo situation changes or everybody is going to be hurting.
It doesn’t look like the Ohio group wants the shoot. Or they think the fix is in. One vote as of now. I can’t see why Ohio would want or need the grand. jmho
