    I have booked a booth at the Illinois Deer &Turkey Expo the last 2 years and when I checked what weekend they scheduled the show I could not believe they are having it on Super Bowl weekend. Last year was not very good for the vendors because of the nice weather the attendance was WAY down and now they go up against the Super Bowl...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

    Ahh my fault i read the booked part thinking it was this year. But that was for past years. Its still crazy to think that they couldnt plan it a little better either wait week or bump it up.
