I will try to find you one, I think Marlin "Don" Watkins will be there if I understood our conversation right earlier.
That'd be awesome if you could find some sort of roster. Do you have to reserve a spot to attend like now or a few months in advance?

You do want to do it in advance, there are no door tickets. This is what he said in his release.
"We will be accepting money for the 4th. Annual 'NE Call Makers Summit' after July 4. Call Maker Vendor tables are Sold-Out but we do have plenty of call collector passes available."
The names of call makers have been added.

2 years ago was my first,(and only because of Covid last year) did not have a ton of money but still had a really good time meeting makers and members of this site. Finally going to get a call for myself from Jody AKA Preacherman other than a mouth call, bought a pot call for my Pastor last year. Real nice guy. Get there a little early if you can, parking fills up quickly from what I saw.
I plan on being there right at 1400 for the opening. Bubba
We'll be there early. Since I have a table, it gives me time to talk to all the other call makers and others before the show starts. It's ALWAYS fun up there. Pete has a great set up and you never go away hungry, lol.
Anybody from this site that is there, please introduce yourself when you stop by my table. Meeting good folks and talking turkey is probably 90% of why I make calls.
See ya there.
Tony
I'll stop by and chat and look over what you have. Bubba
Anyone want to meet up tomorrow night for dinner? Friday lunch before? I know they have plenty of food on Friday. I'm staying at Tioga Downs. Shoot me a PM if anyone wants to. Bubba

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone but I'm flying. I was driving but made a last minute decision to fly. I would have never flown but I had a 700 dollar credit that I was going to lose this year. That's the only reason to fly. Bubba
Good for you buddy, I am in Pa. Now but originally from NY state, very nice state if you have never been! I look forward to hearing how it goes and hearing about you guys meeting up since I can't make it have fun. Nice that you are using up those miles sounds like a good deal.

Thanks Greg, God bless you as well.
Everyone have safe travels and have a ball, Wish I could be there.
Safe travels to all, sorry I can't attend. God bless....be safe
I am going to leave the house early, there are some nice photographic opportunists on the way there I want to take advantage of.
Call builder Bob Fulcher was in bad car accident this morning on his way to Turkey Trot .. Bob is ok, but it totaled his car.. so he want be attending the show ...
Sorry to here about Bob. To all those going to show relax and enjoy it.
Sorry to hear that about Mr.Fulcher, drive safe and have fun everyone attending.
I also found out the Mike from Spring Creek Calls is in the hospital and has been since the beginning of August. I am sure he could also use some prayers. Edit: I see he just posted here 2 days ago, maybe it is not as bad as I had heard, lets hope not.
Whoever goes to this please post some pictures from the show.

Not sure where that info came from but I have not been sick or in the hospital. I did not make the trip to Turkey Trot for family issues. Could always use some prayers though ;).

I had asked where you were and one of the gentleman there offered up the information, both Pete and I were very surprised, he had said you were in the hospital and had been since the beginning of the month or before and you had been on a ventilator and had Covid. I am very glad to hear it is not true. I hope the family issues are not very serious. We could all use some prayers for sure brother.

Yes he sure is and does. I did not pick up many calls this year, I have 3 people offering to pay me to do some photography for them but I need a new lens for the type of stuff they want. (Ultra-wide angle stuff) but I did get two from Jimmy and one from Jody Harrison @ Preacherman Game Calls. Looking at the picture I really do need to pick up an external flash.

Here is what I picked up.
Lapp - Pau Rosa/Mineral Poplar short box
Lapp - African Blackwood w/ Imitation Bone mouth piece
Lapp - Bloodwood/Black Limba mini paddle
During the 5hr ride home I got the lip stop set on the trumpet, and am very happy with what I am hearing out of it. I am new to the trumpet game, but found it real easy to run, and the roll over seems effortless.
Johnson - Walnut/Mahogany fiddle box
Watkins -
Granadillo/Sycamore Fiddlebox
Beech/Mahogany Misfit
Hophorn/Walnut Fiddlebox X2
Hophorn/Sycamore Fiddlebox

Real nice talking to ya!!!
I've got to tell y'all I was at a NWTF convention back in 98 and it was a lot bigger than this but the truth of the matter is I do not think it was nearly as personable. I like the small setup, it gives time to talk with the call makers and more time to play around with calls and meet people in general. Pete, Sherry and staff put on a really good event wish some good eats.
So bummed as I was all signed up for both days, and was intubated (18 days) in ICU at Sayre Hospital 36 days. 40 days in 4 hospitals altogether. Much rather hung out with you guys.
