The information contained in this link is rather lengthy but extremely interesting, never the less. It is all the scheduled seminars at Bass Pro for 2009. They range from Hunter Safety classes to jigging the Detroit River and all things in between. I was going to separate it but it is too darn long. I hope someone benefits from it. Most of the seminars sound very interesting. I wish I was retired and had nothing to do and all day to do it in. I would certainly attend these. Living close to the store would be a real helper too!

I tried copying and pasting it as well, waaaay too long. Thanks for the link Sir.

Bass Pro is doing some real marketing toward it's consumers in there tough times.  The thought is, that by providing free entertainment to people with no money to spend, they will remember those times and go back to BPS when they have more money.

Otherwise known as building brand loyalty

Yep. As soon as Obama sends me my welfare check I'll go to BPS & buy some made in China products from them.

I believe BPS products are made in Korea.  I know a few of my things are made there.  But they're probably made in both places.

Chine, Korea, it doesn't matter. I have some older BPS rods that where made in China as well as some BPS lures. Last year during the reel trade-in I bought a Made in Sweden Abu Garcia Record ($150 less $25 & should of had a $15 rebate that I never got).
