Subject: Re: [VFB] Sparse Grey Matter Fly Tying Festival?

I would love to come to the Sowbug, believe me, but funds being what they are, 
it isn't going to work out for coming from PA to Sowbug this year.  I was 
asking about the Sparse Grey Matter show in NJ because it would be less than 2 
hrs drive time and my wife could drive my son and I to and from, with kids in 
tow (the blasted seizures put a damper on driving myself, and/or on flying as 
is the case to Mountain Home).  Something to think about for the future, 
though, thee Sowbug I mean. 
All the best,
-Pete

  I was cruising the
  net and heard of a fly tying event called the "Sparse
  Grey Matter Fly Tying Festival" somewhere in New
  Jersey, USA that is held annually (assuming it is still
  going on?) and the video I saw was from 2012.  Does anyone
  know, first, is this still something that is going on, and
  second, where can I find details for the 2017 festival /
  show?  New Jersey isn't too far from where I'm at,
  here in PA, and I tend to favor the tying-themed, as opposed
  to fishing-themed, shows. Plus it could be yet another show
  to add to my growing list of shows to attend.  Going to try
  to make the November Somersett International Fly Tying
  convention,  the other 2017 somersett show, and the
  Lancaster PA march 2017 show.  Yep, it is only the start of
  fall here, and I'm already itching for the shows. 
  Unfortunately, funds are keeping me from the Sowbug this
  year, yet again.  On my bucket list, one of these
  years.Thanks for any info on the "Sparse Grey
  Matter Fly Tying Festival",-Pete

 Has a description of how to make a board. Drill various holes so the pegs 
 can be moved to make a variety of lengths of leader.
 Hopefully e that helps
