Description: Featured Speaker - “Doc” Ski”

Build Your Own Blank at the St Croix factory.

James “Doc Ski” Labanowski will be our featured speaker this year. An icon in the world of rod building, “Doc” is a world famous weaver and an expert in all phases of rod building. He will be presenting information on “Tiger Wraps” as well as demonstrating his weaving skills. A wild-eyed “Proud to be an American” patriot, expect to see plenty of Red, White and Blue from the fun loving “Doc”. His presence will be worth the price of admission. Billy Vivona aka “The Wizard” had so much fun last year that he returns to the Badger State as a participant to see all his friends and fans again. Billy will hold an eight hour class on “Making EVA Grips”. He will also hold a class on “Advanced Techniques of Crosswrapping”. Park Falls will never be the same again with these two “Wild and Crazy Guys”!

As always St Croix rolls out the red carpet, opens its doors, and shares its knowledge and expertise with us. The Guild is extremely grateful for the wonderful working relationship we enjoy with the owners, management, staff, and employees of St Croix. It is evident that they are extremely proud of their company and the rods they build. It is a privilege and an honor to be the only group St Croix allows into its factory. We are also grateful to the Park Falls High School and Staff as they welcome us into their building every year. Last year was very successful. Most people liked the two hour format for the classes, but as requested, we will try to have some shorter classes this year also. We also are encouraging audience participation this year. Please consider making a short 5-10 minute presentation during Friday’s activities.
