Book Rooms early for Minn Musky expo same time has frozen 4

[brad coin]

FYI,,mentioned this in another thread but probably should be its own thread.

The Minn "Georges" musky expo falls on the same weekend has the NCAA frozen 4 Hockey tournery in St Paul at XCELL,, so If you are planning to come you should book now!!! hotel rooms will be much harder and more expensive if you wait

Thats perfect. I can go to the expo while watching UND at the NCAA finals. Nice.

Sweet! If I can watch them lose, it'll really make my day!!!

cbrooks, I'm not a UND fan, but mostly I'm just ribbin' ya!

[cbrooks]

Its all good Scoot. Maybe you can watch a team that has won a division one championship then

What motels are close by?

[delmuts]

We have a room booked at the Days'Inn for that sat. night. Now to save up some money !!!!

[Esox_Magnum]

We normaly stay at the College VIP rooms across the street, I think they are like $50 a night per person. We'll be there Saturday and of course staying late for the swap....

[delmuts]

I thought since i have the Mrs. coming along, thought a motel would be a little nicer. I was wondering if they were having a swap meet again this year. Where is it at?

[Esox_Magnum]

The VIP rooms are like a motel only secure, you need a pass to even get in. Swaps normaly at a bar down the street called Ogaras/ Ogradys something Irish anyway. It's on Snelling Ave and a nice place with good food and good times to be had.

[Kyhl]

Hey, it also begins on the same days the the Twin's home opener, 4/8.

[delmuts]

Well, it looks like my plans to come up to the expo and swap meet will get shot down!

We got a call from one of my wifes' friend to give us a heads up about the river levels(Miss.) in the next few weeks! They are talking 25 ft. + about the 11 of April. It's at 9.8 right now.

It's O'Garas.

I've never been been to the swap, but I want to this year and I'm wondering what to expect. Does everyone just carry all of their gear around or do they have tables set up you can walk around and look at?

[bemidjibasser]

Esox-Mag How does one go about reserving one of the College VIP rooms?

[Esox_Magnum]

Call Concordia University. As far as the swap, guys just grab a table and show their wares, great way to meet people and [PoorWordUsage] about the fish we are addicted to over good food and a few drinks.

Thanks. I'd mainly be looking to buy, but I might shove a couple of crankbaits in my pocket to swap.

[Ridgerunnr]

being that its a BAR ...kids allowed? My boys are 13/16 and with bar regulations thought id ask...

[brad coin]

kids always come and usually do well,,free baits etc,,if you want something give them the money to bargain and they will help you bring home a carload. O garas is one of St Pauls most well known bars very nice,,good food you should plan on eating there too most that come do
