St. Paul Ice Fishing Show Vendor Layout

It will be my first time attending the St. Paul ice fishing show this weekend. The website that has the information on the show has (2) pdf files that you can download and print out to show you vendor locations. I have found these to be very hard to ready and it does not clearly list off the vendors. I would like to do some pre-planning on what booths we are going to visit while at the show to make sure we maximize our time. Does anyone know if the have good detailed maps available anywhere?

Just go where the crowd shuffles you!

You can search where the Vendors are located by name. So if you have specific ones you want to hit I’d go that route.

ps0345- Where can you search for this? When I go to the below link, there are just (2) pdf files that you can view, one that says “floor plan is not available at this time.

First, there are no vendors in the Arena area. The entire show can be seen fairly easily – less than 2 hours.

When you first get there before going down the escalators, there will be handouts with maps on the table.

One tip for a first timer. Don’t enter any free drawings. You will forever be on call lists.

No matter how good looking or scantily dressed the rep is…..

You need to click the ” Exhibitor List & Links” hyper link.

Change to click the ” dynamic event floor”
find the vendor you want and it will bring you to their location, you can choose between the River center and Roy Wilkins

Thanks PS0345, now I got it. Going to hit the show early do some walking around and then make some purchases. I am hoping that this thing is fully staffed with all the vendors present on Friday as soon as the doors open so I can get what I need while I am there.

I wish someone would have given me this advise 3 years ago, I still get calls to this day. How long does a “drawing” last before they actually “draw”? Apparently as long as you still have your phone number.
