elcome to the 27
th International Fly Tying Sym
posium. This year w
e will m
ove the sym
posium to the M
arriott Hotel in
Lancaster, PA. A
s you may have heard
our previous location, The Garden State
Exhibit Center, was sold and the sym
po-sium
was fortunate to be able to contract
the beautiful ballroom at the M
arriott. If you have attended the Fly Fishing Show
that com
es in March to Lancaster you
know that this is a central location and
a beautiful historic city. The Marriott is
definitely a fi
rst class hotel for the symposium
and The Fly Fish-ing Show
.
Our them
e this year is “Born Again.” W
ith a new Sym
posium
location and dozens of tiers coming for the fi
rst time, our them
e m
akes sense. New
patterns will be born at the Sym
posium and
many attendees are planning to join us for the fi
rst time.
The best fl
y tiers in the country and several from overseas w
ill share their patterns and techniques all w
eekend. Every fly tying
material old and new
will be on display and available for pur
chase and the largest display of tying books, videos and DV
D’s
will be ready for you to review
. Plan your day to also attend our great Sem
inars, the Featured Tier, the Author’s Booth to get your
books signed, and the chance to pick the brains of over 100 tiers dem
onstrating and happy to teach you their special techniques.
Don’t m
iss a chance to take one of our special morning lim
ited classes. See the selection in the brochure or on our w
ebsite. Register early before the classes are sold out.
And as alw
ays, our Saturday evening banquet is fantastic, with
surprises, lots of tying give-a-ways, and door prizes. Show
at-tendees are w
elcome as tickets rem
ain. Check early if you plan to attend.
The Marriott H
otel has special lodging rates, so call: 717-239-1600 and m
ention code FTI.
Tell your friends or bring them along. Y
ou won’t be disap-
pointed, maybe even “Born A
gain.”
See you soon,
Chuck Furim
sky
P.S. Don’t forget to pick up your discount parking coupon w
hen you buy your Sym
posium ticket.
