January 13-15 was the 11th annual Muskie Show. Hardcore Muskie fisherman and lure specialists were in attendance to shop, sell, and test out lures. Harper College in the city of Palatine just north of Chicago was where the Muskie show was held. Inside there were many booths selling and promoting lures from all over North America. Fisherman even had the capability of testing out lures in a large swimming pool.
