EASTERN SPORTS & OUTDOOR SHOW, HARRISBURG, PA

RPM1031

A few of us are located in the central Atlantic states. Was wondering if anyone is planning on going. My brother and his buddy are coming up from MD and my other brother and I from NJ are going to hook up with them Tuesday.

The brother with me wants to check out the new Bass Pro Shop that opened there about a year ago if we get the chance. It's smaller than Cabela's in Hamburg, PA but supposed to be a nice place.

I might go next sunday,the last day.It seems thats when you can find some bargains,the vendors would rather not have to pack up all their stuff and are a little more willing to deal. Last year we also stopped at Bass Pro on the way home,real nice store.It is built onto a mall so if you have female company that is not interested in outdoor goods they can walk right through the back and shop the mall.Best of both worlds!

I use to go every year but haven't for the past four. It get's to crowded for me. I don't deal with crowds very well Mad

. If it weren't for the crowds I would still go it's a great show.

I don't like crowds either but for the chance to hook up with my brothers, a friend and to drool over hunts I can't afford I'll put up with it for now. I've only been a few times but find that during the week and the earlier part of the day it's not as bad. As the day goes on it gets worse.

I have lived in the area forever, but have never been to the show. One of these days I have to attend. All the best...

I went to day I have my best friend who is a booking agent. His booth is isle 3500 main hall booth #3528 call Ingogo Safari's he shares it with the africa outfitter Walter Slippers. Today it was not crowed , also the boths are spread out this year ,I think because of the gas prices some people did'nt come to the show.Same show as all ways.
