[TripleF]

Hey Scott ,
I’ll be there with 2 tables .
Just made our reservations at the Hyatt so we’re all set .

Mike

Cool. The Hyatt was a little steep for us.

We usually have dinner at the Pizza Palace in down town Lakeland. Hope to see all my AAPK friends there.

Would love to attend that for sure!!

Will be my first time coming. Been wanting to come to this show for years now, as long as weather permits will be coming in from Kentucky. See yall there

Looking forward to seeing everybody. Please identify yourselves as 'AAPK' members. Pizza palace is the default Ital bistro in downtown Lakeland.

This is going to be a great show with s many dealers.

Same here Mike. Can't wait!!

I do have a question.....do I need to bring chairs for my booth?

[ScoutKnives]

Hey Scott ,
They supply chairs , 2 with each 8 foot table .
A sheet for a table cloth is a good idea though , and another one to cover your knives at the end of the day .

Alan, John and I would like to thank the dealers and show attendees for making this a very successful knife show. We are sorry for those dealers who paid for tables but could not attend due to weather related problems. Perhaps I did not mention enough about the Saturday evening auction, so I will talk it up more often next year. Show dates will be similar and I will let you know in my next post. Dealers, please send your checks in for 2027 so we can reserve your same spots.

Thanks again,

Alan, John and Craig
