I just came across this by accident - surprised nobody mentioned it here - is the New England Paddlesports Show at UNH Durham worth the trip?

Good thing we weren't in the area last week - they had a "Spring Turkey Event" with seminars on hunting turkeys!
N.E. Paddlesports Show

I checked the distance (~ 85 miles) and realized I don't really feel like spending 3-4 hours traveling just to browse around unless somebody says its an incredible show. I'm mostly looking for cold weather paddle-wear right now anyway and I doubt there would be much of a selection for that type of stuff. I gotta get out and check the local stores soon...

Norm - if you aren't already get on Sierra Trading Post's email list. They usually have dry & semi drytops on sale. And if you are on their list they often send coupons for an additional 10 - 30% off the regular price.
