Please see below. This used to be one heck of a local turkey show in the State of GA. they quit doing it 4 or 5 years back. Looks like they are trying to get it going again. Thought some of you may be interested.
As many of you know, we (Georgia Chapter NWTF) will be in Unicoi on 13-15 January 2012. Below is a letter we are sending out to vendors that have been with us in the past. If we don't have a current address for you, or you are a new vendor/callmaker that would like to join us for an unforgettable weekend, please print the following letter and send it to Dave.
We look forward to seeing everyone on that weekend.

Greetings hunting and outdoors vendors,
It's time to celebrate conservation efforts by NWTF volunteers across Georgia by holding our annual State Chapter convention. This year we're proud to announce our return to the location in which this great event started many years ago, the lodge at Unicoi State park. As in the past, we will hold the trade show, calling contest and awards banquet in the family friendly location of Helen, GA. Join us as we rekindle old friendships, share turkey hunting stories, and recognize you for your efforts in helping us continue our mission of wild turkey conservation and the outreach programs that introduce to women, children and the disabled to the outdoors.
As a vendor, you're the most important draw to our event and we need you again this year. Vendors will be welcomed on Friday January 13th to set up their booths/tables with the doors opening to the public at 3 PM and closing at 7 PM that evening. On Saturday, we will open the show floor to the public at 9:00 and close that afternoon at 5 PM. The convention will be promoted in several hunting publications, local newspaper advertising, radio and internet coverage as well as mass mailings to thousands of people within a short drive of the convention.
The trade show will take place in the same rooms as in the past with spaces reserved in a first come first serve basis as payment is received. This year we will offer an early bird rate for those vendors who choose to pay for and reserve their tables prior to Nov 12th. The early bird rate will be $125.00 per table. Vendors who choose to pay after NOV 12th will pay the full rate of $175.00 per table.
There is a discounted room rate at the Unicoi State Park lodge if you mention the Georgia Chapter convention when calling for reservations. However, there are a couple of other places to stay that are within a few minute's drive of the show:
