What They’re Saying:

- “We came from Westville IN, two hours away, and…we enjoyed the show a lot…. We live in a log home, my husband hunts and fishes and we love the outdoors.”
- “I enjoyed the show a lot because it was so well rounded…not too heavy hunting…not too heavy RV, unique things to buy…. Good job in my humble opinion. We spent two hotel nights in Fort Wayne just for this!”
