When some people call it quits, sometimes other folks can see the opportunity that presents itself.
In California the International Sportsman’s Expo announcedm that due to the economy, it will no longer host a show in San Mateo County and enterprising Karen Carbonnet saw it as a golden opportunity.
You see, Karen owns the California Fly Shop and while she was a vendor at the former show she saw no reason why she couldn’t build her own fly fishing show and that she did.
The show will be held on the grounds of the California Fly Shop. The CFS is a huge store with an even larger parking lot, which will be the location of the annual event. The best part? She’ll be able to offer fly fisherman the ability to try out fly fishing equipment right there in the lot. Major manufacturers have started to sign up destined to make her event ‘the’ big fly fishing event in California. The event is planned for January.

Thanks for covering this! The date for the event is January 15th, 2011.
P.s. While we do have the largest shop in Northern California, it is only 4,500 square feet – as opposed to the 455,000 square feet reported in the Examiner.

I apologize for the possible off-topic. Guys, could you inform me which web hosting company you are using right now I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 300 visitors per day.. Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting providers? I am checking LCN at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like “1000GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 2000GB drive so can continue uploading..”. What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.
I use Merchant Metrix for all my webwork, including hosting. They have a link at the bottom of every page on my site. Go look – they can handle you too!
