| Pumped and ready to start the show! |
While many of us are used to our hunting and fishing shows in the winter, August is the month of cabin fever for hunters and that's why it was a great month for the show. "Hunting season is right around the corner. Hunters are gearing up and ready to spend some cash on what they need or don’t need" said Thompson. Although shows during the summer may not grow in the hunting community, maybe fishing shows will try this and see how it works on their end.

| Attendees had the opportunity to win lots of goodies |
As I walked in, it looked like any other show, however like the Energizer Bunny, rows kept going and going. These rows were filled with quality products along with non-profits and businesses promoting their ideas and chasing the American dream. Although many attendees came for the great deals on their hunting products, others came for the Big Buck Contest and Trophies of Grace did not disappoint. Luke Brewster's World Record Buck, harvested in Illinois, was also in attendance. Let me just say..WOW. Nope- not putting a picture up of that monster, because like a sunset or sunrise, it's better in person, trust me!

If you missed this year don't worry! They'll be back and I'm excited as can be to see how this show grows. However, I'm a little disappointed in one thing, no gutter guard companies at the show. I mean, what's an outdoor show without them there? Just in case some of you can't tell, that's sarcasm. In all seriousness, this show met and exceeded my expectations and you should plan to take the whole family next year.
I applaud all the workers and vendors for making this an amazing show. Makes sure to check them out the Deer and Beer Fest on Facebook. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
