Everything is in place and the wheels have been set in motion for the 2015 NTA National Convention to be held at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg, NY from July 30th thru August 2nd. The New York State Trappers Association will be the host and along with that,comes the responsibility to provide ALL the volunteers needed to support this convention. This will be a great opportunity to not only have a national convention in out own backyard,but a chance to show the rest of trapping community just how great New York and NY trappers are! We will need a MINIMUM of 75-100 trappers throughout the week starting on July 28th to manage the camping, tailgate and admissions to the convention.Please take the time to request vacation time if you can now so you don't miss this exciting event.

This post has been on here for almost a month, with no response. Wayne has a lot to do to get things started, and knowing who he has to help is very important. Cory and I will start it off by letting you know we will be there the earlier part of the weekend before to help set up or do whatever is needed to help get ready for the convention. Our NYSTA convention last year was bigger attendance wise than the past NTA conventions I have attended. I have gone to every one the last ten years since I retired. If we all get behind this and help wherever we can, our 2015 NTA convention here in NY can be the largest one yet.

Very cool. Have not been to a national since 1980 when it was in Vermont. That was a hoot.

I can help out where needed. I live about an hour away so I can be there all weekend if necessary. I would want some time to wander around and watch a few demos of course, but will pitch in to help whenever I can. PM me to let me know.

We NY. Trappers will have to go some to compete with the youppers. There demo site was incredible! Beaver pond complete with dam, running spillway's, which had roadways culverts and a cornfeild. Floating rat feed beds, the works. I spent considerable time taking Pics and noting how the whole setup was put together. I reckon a bunch of time, effort and money went into its making. There was even a big screen and audio you could watch the demos on.

The demo set up was really incredible. Having that AV guy makes such a difference. I am hopeful that the convention is held in Hamburg. It seems funny that this convention will be closer to home than the one in my own state. Very excited to see what NY does with their demos.

I have no idea what PM stands for, and have no email address. This is my first year. I made the NYT convention and felt like I was at home. The NT convention will feel like a kid in a candy store.
