We've been running and crazy busy all this week and it looks like we will be in the near future - much thanks to the great WRWA Annual Conference held last week. To no surprise, the conference turned out to be great. With groundbreaking attendance, we stayed busy, time went fast, and we had a great time. We gave away all our notebooks, almost all of our pens, and almost all of our ducks (and we came with 1000+ ducks!) - that's fantastic! In fact, we were so busy that I didn't snap any pictures almost the entire conference. You all will just have to use your imaginations - our booth looked much like the booth picture on the right sidebar, and I rode the motorized scooter cooler again.
A big THANKS to all the operators who stopped by! We had a really great time and that happened because of you. By taking the time to stop by and allowing us to share our company with you, you made the conference a valuable experience. I hope we can return the favor, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you further and providing you with Quality Service and Affordable Solutions. Missed us at the conference? Check out our services, products, and our work, and then give me a call to let me know how we can start partnering up.
The only complaint I have about the conference is that our booth (which is otherwise in the most perfect location in the hall, in my opinion) was directly underneath a fan that was blowing cold air the entire second day and in turn made our booth about 10 degrees colder than anywhere else. BURR!! I really could have used my office space heater that day!
We attended the new Bingo night that was held on Wednesday, and had a good time! Bill got lucky and won a game. The win was in question for a moment, but was confirmed by Eric Van Laanen. You did a great job, Eric!
On Thursday, we filled up our Corporate Gold table and had a great time. We were really excited about our prize this year. We've been thinking about it and planning it since Christmas time, and this year we gave away a treasure chest:

On Thursday, we filled up our Corporate Gold table and had a great time. We were really excited about our prize this year. We've been thinking about it and planning it since Christmas time, and this year we gave away a treasure chest:
It's a bit blurry because these are the only two pictures I took the entire week, and I took them with my phone. The treasure chest (which I stained and finished myself) was filled with 300 golden dollar coins, a pirate duck, and a promise of a half day guided bass fishing on the Mississippi River Pools 4-9. Paul Hansen from New Berlin was the lucky winner, and the guys are looking forward to going out fishing.
Josh had quite a lucky night as well! He won not one, but two prizes. The first was from our friends at Northern Lake Service, and was a Traxxas RC Car w/battery, charger, remote and 2 Weekend passes to Crandon Off Road Races. We're really looking forward to the races (it fell on a perfect, fishing tournament-free weekend), and Helios, our golden retriever, doesn't know whether to love you or hate you for the RC car. For anyone with an active and energetic dog, I highly recommend getting an RC car; it wipes them out. And a big second thank you to USA Bluebook, for the Framed 3D Fish Picture. It's waiting to be hanged in the perfect spot in the break room that has been selected right over the table.
We can't say enough how much we appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making this conference great. WRWA staff, the Conference Planning Committee, and the Sportsman's Raffle Committee really goes above and beyond what is expected, and it truly shows. Thanks for another great year, and we cannot wait to see what's in store for the 25th conference next year!!
