Professional fur handler Rich Clark will be show how to properly put up a variety of fur, share tips and techniques, which are sure to get the trapper top dollar for his catch and save him or her considerable time and effort.

“I have personally attended Rich Clark’s demos and have always gained valuable knowledge from listening to him and watching his expertise,” said Jim Fornetti, longtime member of U.P. Trappers. “He is a superb teacher and I am always impressed with the way he answers each and every question from the audience thoroughly, patiently and accurately.”

This year will feature vendors and tailgaters and many dealers of outdoor equipment will be offering convention special prices, with no shipping charges.  Swapping and trading items is also a convention tradition as well as the mini raffles.
