Who would have thought that an aviation museum would be a good venue for a party? But the Frontiers of Flight museum near Love Field was really a great place for Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica to wrap up its Swine Health Seminar in Dallas on Friday.
The theme was “Take Flight with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica” and like all BIVI events, it was first class. The food was great, the band was awesome and everyone enjoyed the company and the atmosphere
One of the very cool things was a great place for kids to play while the adults mingled. They even got their own special menu of pizza and chicken nuggets!
The museum itself was pretty fascinating – put it on your list of to-dos next time you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area – which, by the way, is known as the Aviation Capital of the World – I learned something new today! The museum features everything from the pioneers who realized their earliest dreams of flying; the aviators of the “Golden Age of Flight” in the ’20s and ’30s; all the way up to the jet and rocket age of today.

He says the easiest way to describe the show is, “a great big convention for hunters and outdoorsmen.” The exhibits haven’t changed but there are more of them that include outfitters, equipment and art.

Here’s another case of the shooter getting shot. And I don’t mean Deer or Deere.
I don’t know is he’s really called the Deer Measurer but he is one and he says, “Have tape measure, Will travel.” He’s Dave Boland and he’s an official measurer for Pope & Young, Boone & Crockett, Long Hunter Society and the North American Shed Hunters Club. He explained the process for coming up with the measurement to score deer racks. I’ve got a bunch of racks but I’ve never had mine measured or mounted. I’m still waiting to get one that’s worth it.
I didn’t know that media room services were already changing. Apparently at 
I’m on location in a deer hunters paradise. Well, I’m not in the woods looking at a big buck but I am at the Dixie Deer Classic. This is a big show at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. John Deere has their
