Discussion in ' Shows' started by Bob King - Jun 22nd, 2016 5:39 pm.
Bob King	Welcome to Fort Wayne, Indiana for the 2016 NFLCC 40th National Convention. This is the third time the show has been held in Fort Wayne. Your Hosts are Bob & Becky King and David Saalfrank. The show promises to be a great event with over 600 tables in the Grand Wayne Convention Center and over 200 rooms filled with tackle in the Hilton hotel. Room to room trading will run all week and the 3 day show starts on Thursday July 14, and ends Saturday July 16. Many volunteers have worked hard; and we hope you enjoy the show and are able to add something nice to your collection. The convention is a member's only event. You must have paid your NFLCC dues through June 30, 2017 in order to be admitted to the show. If you renewed late, you may be required to pay your dues again for the current year to get into the show (any duplicate dues payments will be refunded within 3 weeks.) If you are staying at the host Hilton hotel your parking is free at the City Owned Parking Garage adjoining the Hilton Hotel, have the desk stamp your parking ticket. The Courtyard will give out a parking card at check-in for NFLCC members for their parking garage. Anyone setting up for room trading will be able to take their things to the Convention Center without the use of their car, anyone that needs to use their vehicle to transport their tackle to the Convention Center can take it to either the Pickup unloading dock or the mail loading docks at the Convention Center and during the normal unloading time for the show, there will be members to direct and help you with this task. Anyone wanting to bring their item across the street from the Marriott Courtyard will be ask to consult with one of the Show hosts prior to doing so. Plenty of food and beverages will be available in the exhibition hall on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Food Court in the back center of the exhibition area. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be available. The Hilton will have a special breakfast buffet during the show, check with the hotel. The Hilton will be offering a special dinner for NFLCC members. The auction will begin on Friday, July 15 at 7:00 PM at the Convention Center in the Harrison room. Auction preview will begin at 4:30PM. Consignments will be accepted Wednesday July 13, in Hilton room 923 and also during the show Thursday. There is a 10% buyers + 10% seller’s commission for each item. Please get your auction items in early, as there is a limit to the number of items we can handle. There will be a “Visit Fort Wayne” information booth Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the entrance to the Convention Center. They will answer any questions you might have about Fort Wayne, give driving directions and information on many of the restaurants and interesting sites in the area.
