Now that the Holidays are behind us, I try to remind everyone of the sports shows that come up early in the new year. These are great events, as they are focused on what we all enjoy in one form or another. They are all about the great outdoors. The first one in our region is the Tri-Cities Sportsmen Show, that takes place on January 27 through the 29th. This one has been going on for nearly 30 years, so they must be doing something right. It will be at the HAPO Center in Pasco. Right on the heels of this show is the Washington Sportsmen’s and Fishing Boat Show in Puyallup. It runs from February 1st through the 5th and is by far the largest of these types of shows every year. Beginning on February 3rd is the Seattle Boat Show, which continues to be the biggest boat show on the West Coast. Once again I will be doing a seminar for this show, and again it offers “on-line” opportunities to attend. The last show of the season will be the Central Washington Sportsmen Show at the Sundome in Yakima. It is scheduled for February 24th till the 26th.
