I am looking for a trade show to possibly buy a canoe I am in southern MN, the sportshow is the end of march in the twin cities but I thought there was another one in the twincities that was usually in Feb or early March or did they just move it to late March? My wife is due to have our second child in mid March so I cant go to Canoecopia, just to far fron home to be the weekend she is due.
Also I am looking for a MN2 or a SR Q18 if anyone, outfitter or not, has something for sale I would be interested to see what you have.

How about this one:

Iowa Paddlesport Expo

Located in Indianola, IA - about 15 minutes south of Des Moines, Feb. 11-13.

You might try Midwest Mountaineering's Outdoor Adventure Expo, April 15-17 in Minneapolis. If you contact outfitters prior, you could possibly work a deal with them.

Visit: www.outdooradventureexpo.com for details.

Closer to time you should be able to get a list of outfitters who will be at the show.

Take her with you. They have some good hospitals in Madison:)

Mr. Compassion! LOL

You can post a WANTED ad here in the Items for Sale forum, also if you make a deal with an outfitter for a boat, you can post here to see if someone can haul it near you for a swap.

Good luck!

I guess I had not thought of having someone else haul it.
I will have to make a post when it gets closer to copia if I am still in the market.
