When it’s winter in Washington it’s sports show season. When conditions make it tough to get outdoors, there is plenty to see and do indoors at these shows. The first one every year is the Tri-Cities Sportsmen Show in Pasco. Held every year at the HAPO Center, the show is packed with exhibitors that interest outdoor enthusiasts. There are fishing and hunting guide services and lots of things for the kids to do. They can pop balloons with a bow and arrow or shoot an air rifle at targets and catch a fish at Lunker Lake. On display this year is Maasaia the famous African lion from Working Wildlife. Mark your calendars for January 24th to the 26th and plan on attending the biggest show in Eastern Washington. Next is the Washington Sportsmen’s Show and Sportfishing Boat Show at the Fair Grounds in Puyallup. This is a huge show with rows and rows of exhibitors and a long list of seminars. It is scheduled for January 29th to February 2nd. New this year is the 3D Open Archery Challenge. There is so much to see at this show that you may want to plan two days to take it all in.
