ORCA @ Penn's Woods Fly Fishing Show 2/19

[Mike N]

I have a table (#35) to distribute ORCA brochures at the February 19 (Sunday) Penn's Woods Annual Fly Fishing Show "Cabin Fever 2017" in Cranberry, PA (north of Pittsburgh), not far from the Ohio state line. I hope to see some ORCA members there.

I will post a list of other exhibitors which include L.L. Bean and Orvis.

p.s.

History of Pennsylvania “Penn Woods” --In 1680, William Penn requested land west of Jersey from the King of England for the Quakers and on March 4, 1681 the King signed the charter making William Penn proprietor of the Slyvania (Latin for woods). Wikipedia.

Thanks for doing that Mike. We should all be doing more of that to reach new members and let folks know what we do. Happy to send ORCA leaflets to anyone who asks.

Roger -- I printed the two-sided color brochures from our website and will have a nice ORCA table sign made by someone at my office.

I plan on setting up a few display cases of some of my favorite reels etc to attract people to the table. Will definitely also show those two 1908 Orvis letters. Who knows, I may also pick up an old reel.

Hey, wait a minute.. I just noticed a George McCabe at table 37. Could that be our ORCA George McCabe? I hope so.

Nice show, but not much old tackle. I distributed about two dozen ORCA brochures to anyone who showed interest. Here are a few pics; and yes, long-time ORCA member George McCabe (3rd photo) had the booth next to mine. It was great chatting with him.
