We will have 60 tyers at each four hour session, there will be six sessions. Some tyers will tie all sessions, some will only tie one session. We have chairs on the opposite side of the table from the tyer for the attendee to sit and talk with the tyer. Most tyers give away the flies they tie, a lot if them will have their flies on display in front of them. We will have a few vendors that will be selling flytying materials but for the most part,the Sowbug show is all flytying.. Through the day, there will be "Featured" tyers doing demo tying in the classrooms. A schedule is given to the attendee when they come in. We also have free tying classes. Tony
