By Tom Claycomb | If you’ve ever had a desire to be an outdoors writer, photographer, YouTuber, etc., you ought to attend the AGLOW Conference (Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers). Kevin Paulsen, the executive director, and Karen Lutto Leatherwood, the president, talked me into attending last month.
I guess all associations have their own flavor, or maybe I should say personality, due to the members and leaders. This year the conference was held in Lewiston, New York, which is where Niagara Falls is located. I had never been there. It was a beautiful area.
The Oct. 11-15 conference kicked off Sunday night with the president’s reception. Katy went with me, which made it even more fun. We flew up Saturday night so we could hit church on Sunday morning and then check out Lewiston and have a relaxing day. I’ve been running and gunning lately, so it was nice to get away with my wife.
