For those of you in the vicinity of Atlanta, the Georgia Chapter of SCI is holding its annual Sportsman's Convention and Show this Saturday (2/6) at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Hotel.

For details, go to the Chapter website: www.gasci.org .

Although nowhere the size of Reno or DSC, the Atlanta show will have exhibitors from Africa and the U.S., as well as art, jewelry, and etc.

From 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM admission is free. The member dinner with live auctions is $100/person.

There are at least 25 hunts and other items on the live auction.

Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend: a Safari Club event on Saturday and the Super Bowl on Sunday!

Just wanted to add that the Greater Atlanta SCI banquet is the following Saturday (2/13) at the Metropolitian Club in Alpharetta off Windward Pkwy. Doors open at 4pm and cost is $60 a person I believe.

Attend either or both shows, a lot of great people involved.

JudgeG--

Maybe this is the show you were thinking of?

Which is the bigger of the two?.... not necessarily "bigger is better".

Appears the Atlanta Chapter is a banquet only (with auctions?) while the GASCI event is a trade show with booths, exhibitors, etc.

458WM is correct about the two events. The Greater Atlanta is basically just a banquet with auctions and raffles while the GA is more of a trade show.

JudgeG, it was the Greater Atlanta banquet that you attended a couple of years ago. I saw you there but did not get the chance to meet and talk with you.

Just a reminder for anyone in the Atlanta area that the Greater Atanta banquet is tomorrow. It has been snowing the last couple of hours but is suppose to be out of here by midnight.
