RE: Asian Carp cleaning demo
EXCELLENT NEWS CHRIS!! That is fantastic! I was a little nervous about filming it since I'm no photographer, but I would have given it a shot. I still plan on recording some tho, but at least we know there'll be a professional there doing it right. That's great.
Ok, what time is everyone showing up? And are we meeting somewhere or are we just gonna run into each other while oogling all the things we can't afford to buy? I have a couple hours of work I have to do first, but the job is in Plainfield, about 20 minutes away, and I'm gonna start it at around 8:00. I should be able to get there by 11:30. And, Kendall, where are you gonna put your boat? Or are you gonna bring it to the store to show it off?

Store opens at 10, demo starts at 11.
I'll be there early to park the boat up front andto meet thephotagrapher. Duane will beswinging his knivesright out front under the entrance canopy, and there are other Asian Carp related presentations going on throughout the store.
There will be more to do than just see fish being cut up and shopping too...

RE: Asian Carp cleaning demo
Kevin Irons from the IL Natural History Survey will be there too. He has some great info about silvers in the IL and tributaries.
We'll be there around 10am. I hope to get the pontoon boat up near the front.
