To Robin Barrow and others, No. There are usually no vendors at the state meeting. It is not that kind of meeting. Several of us have been to other nearby state ornithological society meetings where they had lots of vending and it is worth a gold mine to the participants. Vendors have been discussed at least a couple of times in past years but the way we organize state meetings and plan activities, vendors usually aren't in the mix. Let's go birding......
