Ladies and gentleman your not gonna want to miss this event! Picture yourself immersed in thousands of square footage surrounded by the stuff you love most!! These vendors come stocked with everything you will need to be successful at fishing (or at least have fun trying ),miles of tables filled with tackle,rods,reels,gear and the list goes on and on. And the speakers really know how to get those "I wanna go fishing butterflies going". Just hearing them tell stories makes me want to hit the closest spots as soon as I leave. You won't be disappointed. Stop by the ice fish Ohio booth and say hello. Can't wait to see everyone there.

It is on my calendar already, had a great time last year.

[Badgerstate36]

I'll give a shot.  Why not?

[MEKlukow]

Absolutely LOVED this event last year. Heard some really great talks and bought waaaay too much new tackle (if that's possible?). Can't wait to do it again!

[quackpot]

Never to much, I'm saving money for it now.

I told the wife that's where we were going for valentine's day.  She wasn't impressed.lol

[davidhoheisel]

Great Valentine Gift!

[Saw guy]

Quality show Dave. I look forward to going. Friday is a great deal for veterans and seniors.

[Fishin 2]

Does the admission ticket for an adult "also" admit  2 children or is it only  2 children for a ticket ?

[quackpot]

The $2 off tickets I sent out at the local Walmart were also admit two kids 17 and under. I will text you a picture.

[Fishin 2]

What I'm asking is , is 1 ticket good for 1 adult and 2 kids or just 2 kids on their own ticket

[slabslayer]

1 adult and 2 kids on 1 ticket.

[Rumi]

I'm really looking forward to this show! I didn't make last years.

I'll be helping man the OGF booth, along with Shake, Redjada and a couple others. [a trip back in time for me from when I helped run our OGF booth a few years ago]
 Stop in, introduce yourself and chew the fat a bit with us!  
I'll defintely be swinging by the IFO booth too. 

Like in the old days my wife will be going with me for the weekend.
There are plenty of restaurants to select from to take your wife to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Make it something special by treating her to a new one! That's my plan Sunday afternoon.  

[davidhoheisel]

Yes, all kids 17 and under are admitted for free. However, there is a limit of 2 kids per paying adult ticket. We just can't have unattended kids running around.

Hope this helps.

See you at the expo.
