Cabin Fever got you down? Then pack up the family and come visit the 11th annual Valley Outdoors Standard Journal Cabin Fever Expo to be held February 20 and 21, 2010 at the Mifflinburg Area High School.
With a variety of vendors specializing in the latest outdoor gear, taxidermy displays, hunting and fishing guides, plus representatives from local conservation groups, this year's show will offer something for everyone.
Not only is this family oriented show a free admission event, but there will also be free how-to seminars, plus a free casting event sponsored by Tom's Custom Jigs and a turkey calling contest sponsored by TOP Calls for the children on Saturday. Visiting children are invited to put together a free pine cone bird feeder to take home and enjoy, enter our coloring contest, plus pick up a copy of their very own Valley Outdoors wildlife coloring book (while supplies last.)
This year's seminars include
- - Musky Fishing on the Suquehanna River - Ken Maurer
- The Benefits of Hunting with a Dog - Dwight Runkle
- Minnies on a Fly Rod and Fishing Flies with a spinning rod - Dennis Keefer
- How to Score your Whitetail - Quality Deer Management
- Bass Fishing - Tom Purves, and
- So you want a Bird Dog Puppy - Jim Hornberger.
The SUN Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation will be on hand with their DART System which simulates turkey hunting and promotes hunting safety.
Guests are reminded to register to win one of the dozens of both youth and adult door prizes that will be given away including this year's grand prizes:
- - a cow elk hunt at Straight Pine Elk & Deer located in Middleburg for a lucky adult winner (ages 18 and up),
