OLD REEL COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION

ORCA NATIONAL CONVENTION

TO BE HELD AT THE INTERNATIONAL GAME FISH ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM

Dania Beach, Florida

June 5, 6 & 7 2009

 

Show Location & Information:  The International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame & Museum is a 60,000 square foot facility dedicated to fishing’s past, present and future.  The show will be held inside the museum which will give everyone a chance to wander around and enjoy the old tackle gallery as well as the many interactive exhibits and the world’s most complete fishing library.  The museum will be open to the public on Saturday, the day of the show.  The IGFA will be advertising our show and encouraging people to bring in their tackle for appraisals and for sale.  You must be a member of ORCA to attend the show and participate in the auction.  The IGFA is located 2 miles from the Ft. Lauderdale airport so if you live far away there is no excuse not to come. 

Check out the IGFA museum on their web at:  IGFA Museum

 

Tables & Registration:  Registration is $10.00 per member and this will include admission to the IGFA museum for all three days.  Tables for non exhibit items will cost $20.00 each.  Tables that are to be used for exhibiting reel displays will be free.

 

Accommodations:  Courtyard Marriott: This motel is on the Museum property and only an ugly reels throw from the museum where the show will be taking place.  The motel is new and very nice.  The special ORCA room rate is $89.00 per night.  This reduced room rate is available all week.  To receive this rate, reservations must be made by May 1, 2009.  Don’t forget to mention ORCA when making your reservations.   Marriot phone number:  954-342-8333.

 

About The Show:  We will be setting up and displaying in the IGFA museum all day Saturday and ORCA as a club has committed to remain set up there for the entire day.  Please plan to keep your booth or your display intact  through the end of the day on Saturday.  Another thought - This show is being held in a museum and it would be nice if members would bring a display of old tackle to show along with your items for sale and trade.  Just a thought!  Thanks…..Ed
