1/30/08... A.F.F.S. did indeed return to Somerset and our booth and team saw a lot of action.. I would like to extend our thank you's first to all of the nice people that stopped by to gather information about our Schools, Guide Services and other Activities because they are certainly the ones that made our efforts at this Show a success.. On my thank you list.. A big one goes to Torrey Collins and the members of his staff he brought from our affiliated member School, Housatonic Outfitters in CT.. They provided a lot of help at the booth and we look forward to working with them at many future events. Of course kudos are always in order for our great group of Jersey Guides that I know will be very busy this upcoming season with all the interest that the public showed in their teaching and guiding services.. Even our eastern PA. guys helped out quite a bit and made some booth appearances in between their duties at the WILD WATER booth.. By the way, thank you Eric for handing out our brochures and playing our latest video at the WILD WATER Booth.. That's what having a great sponsor like WILD WATER is all about.. Last but certainly not least, our sincere appreciation to Show Promoter Barry Serviente for providing us a good location and having such a fine event.. We will see you all again, right there next year....
