Chicagoland Fishing, Travel & Outdoor Show in Schaumburg is in the books, and we can't even begin to count the number of familiar faces we saw there. It was terrific to catch up midyear with the many guests who were here in 2017 and are heading back up in 2018. Seeing all that gear makes everyone pretty anxious to get up north. We also crossed [...]
