RECORD-NUMBERS OF TAXIdermists and fish carvers are already making travel plans to attend the 2001 World Taxidermy and Fish Carving Championships. From all reports, this show will set a new record for attendance and competition entries. Whether you're new to the taxidermy industry or a seasoned pro, The 2001 World Shows offers valuable educational and networking opportunities for all taxidermy levels:

* Over forty seminars by leading industry experts, which will cover every facet of taxidermy and fish carving

* The world's largest taxidermy and fish carving competitions. (At the last World Show there were over 600 entries.) It's great fun if you enter, but if you don't, just viewing it is an experience you will long remember.

* An exhibit hall boasting the top suppliers of taxidermy services, technology and supplies. Over 165 booths will fill the hall.

* The World Fish Carving Championships will be held at the Crowne Plaza. The Competition Chairman will again be Paul Thiesing. The fish carving seminar program is headed by Don Frank, who has a super-star lineup. It will cover all aspects of decorative fish carving, and feature the nation's top carvers. We will have complete details in our World Show booklet in Jan.

* The climax of the event is the 2001 World Show Awards Banquet, where $20,700.00 in cash prizes will be awarded. The location and time have been changed. The banquet will be held on Friday night at the Springfield Hilton Hotel.
