GREATER PHILLY OUTDOOR SPORTS SHOW - The Fisherman

GREATER PHILLY OUTDOOR SPORTS SHOW

The 7th Annual Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks, PA from February 23-26. A true outdoor show for the tri-state region, this event brings together vendors and exhibitors from all over North America representing lodges, resorts, hunting and fishing outfits, charter boats, tackle shops, outfitters and more.

Top fishing manufacturers will showcase some of their newest offerings for 2017, with a great opportunity to score value pricing with respected local tackle shops with booths onsite. There’s also an extensive seminar line-up for hunters and anglers alike, including legendary bass pro Hank Parker. Be sure to stop by The Fisherman Magazine booth to get your set of pliers from Star Rods, our gift with any new or renewed annual subscription (just $29 for 38 issues.) We’ll also be handing out copies of the March edition of the magazine, hot off the presses this week.

If you both hunt and fish, don’t miss the 7th Annual Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow at Oaks, with show hours from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 10-7 on Saturday and from 10-5 on Sunday. Admission is $12 for adults, $3 for kids aged 5 to 11. Enter 1601 Egypt Road, Phoenixville, PA into your GPS, or visit www.sportshows.com (see full line-up of fishing seminars below).
