Off Season Time Killing

[Takes Prizoners]

Just checked out The Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg yesterday. HUGE SHOW that uses the entire farm show complex. It had damn near everything for all kinds of outdoorsmen. It runs for 9 days and I'll say if you want to see everything, you're probably going to have to stay out there for a night. My friend and I spent the majority of our time yesterday in the shooting sports hall and bass pro since I had a gift card and we had to park there anyway to take the shuttle. Highly recommend checking it out next time around. Especially if you are looking to book a destination hunting/fishing trip.

Also, been doing a "Tour De Tackle Shops" trying to get my friend ready for the approaching season while waiting for the Somerset Show and the boat shows to roll around.

I used to do the Harrisburg show yearly. Then they had an issue with what could be sold and displayed and many of the sponsors/exhibitors pulled out and the show was cancelled (2013).

Happy to see that things have changed and they are having the show again. It definitely is an all day event. I may have to start attending again.

I vaguely remember that instance.  No guns were for sale directly at the show but most of the manufacturers were there with full firearms displays. That was mainly what I was there to check out as well as some camping stuff. And it was definitely a better experience to walk up and handle the firearms without having to wait for a salesman to call your ticket number. But my friend and I will definitely be going back next year and might just have to stay overnight to experience the full show.
