Stats On Sport Shows

Sun., Jan. 22, 1995

Which is the best West Side sportsmen’s show? You decide:

The International Sportsmen’s Expo, Jan. 26-29 at the Kingdome, is expected to have nearly 500 exhibitors on 155,500 square feet of floor space.

ISE has a reputation of being more for the purist hunter and fisher, with fewer booths selling retail goods. The list of hunting and fishing seminar speakers in longer.

The Washington Sportsmen’s Show (formerly the Seattle Sportsmen’s Show), Jan. 25-29 at the Western Washington Fairgrounds in Puyallup, will have 430 exhibitors on 200,000 square feet.

Promoters say they have more demonstrations, such as horse packing, than ISE, as well as more retail sales and slightly more emphasis on hunting.
