Big Horn Outdoor Recreation Show ready to kick off in Spokane
SPORT SHOWS – The Big Horn Outdoor Adventure Show will fill the Spokane Fair and Expo Center Thursday through Sunday with more than 250 vendors of outdoor gear and services as well as area clubs and outfitters.
The annual show once again is sponsored by the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council, which started the annual event 57 years ago as a small gathering for hunters to compare their big-game hunting trophies of the year.
Ladies’ Night will debut at the show on Friday with prize drawings, discounts by about 50 vendors from 4 p.m-8 p.m. and a ladies-first express lane at the shooting gallery. The first 1,000 women to enter the show after the doors open at noon will get a gift bag.
Also new this year -- wine will be served along with the brews at the Beer Garden.
See live bears at Bear World and take the kids to wet a line for trout at Fishing World or sling an arrow at the archery range.
Free seminars that run hourly through the show cover topics such as calling elk and black bears, fishing the upper Columbia River, kokanee fishing, deer hunting, Clark Fork River fly fishing and turkey hunting.
Sportsmen can drop of big-game horns and antlers starting Thursday for official scoring at Trophy Territory, which is where the event began but is now a small portion of the show.
A $10 adult ticket is valid for all four days of the show.
