drolfson,

As TxEngr says the 14th Annual Fly Tying Festival is going on this Sat. but not at the Katy Frwy. location. That Hotel has been leveled due to the freeway expansion. The show is at the Holiday Inn at 2712 Southwest Frwy. (Hwy 59 S.) at Kirby. I believe the hours are from 8:30 to 4:00.

As far as shops go there are a few. Bass Pro at Katy Mills mall, I Fly the Anglers Edge across from the Galleria and Orvis down the street from there.

Your Dad won't be disapointed if he attends the show. Many fantastic tiers will be there.
