Hello all,
We are now into summer. I hope this letter finds everyone doing well. If you are headed to National’s in July, good luck and I will see you there.
We are well into planning a summer workshop in August. We have a lot of irons in the fire. As soon as we get our seminarian scheduled, we will be taking reservations for the class. More info to come. It looks to be a great time!
We also have scheduled our show in Billings for 2018 and 2019. Then we will be on to Missoula or Kalispell for 2020. We have great judges lined up for the show. Our Life Size judge will be Dave Ferguson. For Birds, Fish and Reptiles we have Rick Krane, and our Gamehead judge will be Owen Eldred. These guys will bring a wealth of knowledge, so don’t miss it!!!
Talk to you soon!
Kim Albertoni

Greetings, M.T.A. members
I hope your summer is going great. I would like to thank everyone for letting me serve as the Vice President for this year. It has already been an eye opening experience and we have a great board to work with. I’m very excited to be able to add input from a vendor’s point of view and a taxidermist’s point of view for next year’s show. The board has come up with some great ideas to make next year’s show great in Billings. The judges, seminars and extras are booked or being booked. I would also like to stress that this organization is your organization. I hope everyone will let us know if you have any ideas or suggestion on how we can improve and make next year’s show even better.
Thanks Again,
Eric Kallis
