Anglers and hunters alike have wondered why there hasn't been a sportsmen's show held in Wenatchee; something that would represent all the services, organizations and businesses that serve the sportsmen of the region. Well, at long last it is going to happen.

Thanks to Mark Miller at the Town Toyota Center and Merle and Bev Shuyler of Shuyler Productions it is scheduled to take place on February 22nd through the 24th next year. The Shuylers have been providing excellent sports shows in Tri-Cities and Yakima for over 20 years and bring their proven capabilities to Wenatchee.

The Town Toyota Center is a perfect place to hold such an event, and I expect to see guide services, lodges and resorts and other businesses represented there to showcase all that this region has to offer. Those that attend can expect to see some activities that are popular with families, too, such as a trout pond, and a special attraction at the Wenatchee Show will be a live bear exhibit.

I have cleared my calendar to spend time at the show, and I hope you do, too. If you want to learn more about the Wenatchee Valley Sportsmen's Show you can log onto www.shuylerproductions.com.
