National Wild Turkey Federation Convention & Trade Show - Arrival Day
(Feb 13)  Thursday: I arrived in Nashville just before dark and met Fred Lutger at our hotel. We left right away for the NWTF show at Opreyland. The welcome party was in progress but the Media room, where we needed to pick up our badges, was closed and we couldn't get in. So we went to Ruby Tuesdays and ate dinner. We'll check in tomorrow and start our coverage of this super event.
