Are there any covid rules in place that an Out-of-Stater need to be aware of?

No there are not.  Mask are optional at least at this moment. I guess considering the state off affairs anything could change.

If I were able to go, I would not let Covid deter me one bit.  And I'd love to go... but it's too far to go from where I live... Alaska.

Question:  Is there any way to get a recording of the seminars?  Will Great Northern be selling or providing access to them, or will anyone be podcasting them?

Ron that's a great looking little Shrew.  Reminds me of field testing the Lil Favorite up at Shrewhaven years ago.  I think Roger ended up with the prototype.

Great show with great people.  Tracy St. Joeseph river bow awesome, Teresa Asbell wool good.  Came close to buying newwood bow, may order one.  Renne is BACK of Rush Creek wool, does awesome custom work (have bibs she made me 12 years ago) check her out.  I cannt remember the targets they have there (have them on range) this is one thing I wish would of brought home.

Unfortunately, I has to miss it this year, have some sinus crud. Getting better, but sucks I had to miss the show.  I would love to see some pictures if anyone has some to post.

Loved being there seeing old friends and meeting new ones.  One regret should of bought the Bonafide targets they had there at the show price.  Great target.

It has been some time since attending this show. We went this year and it still is simply fantastic!! There were new faces and plenty of the seasoned veterans still sharing their talent and art. Like I said it has been a spell since attending, to see the next generation carrying on Great Northern Bows and the Quiver company, and no more Ken Beck in the Black Widow Bow booth to name a few. Very blessed to see the next generation stepping up and keeping traditional archery alive and well. Sorry to say I have no pictures to share. I was in awe of all there was to see. Great job of Great Northern to keep this show going. Additionally to all the vendors willing to drive many miles to support as well.
