Our 2026 featured attractions included the live “Wild Eagle Encounter” presentations and, back by popular demand, the “Parakeet Paradise Experience” returned! The new “Nature's Provisions” highlighted crafters of locally picked, processed and packaged edibles from land and sea, with the “The Great Maine Lobster Hunt” vacation prize anchoring the promotion. But that's not the only contest. Patrons also signed up to win a "Guided Maine Bear Hunt” in the backcountry of Maine wilderness. And the “Capture the Wild Photo Contest" was now in all five shows and will introduced a new category... trail cams!
There were also prizes galore at the individual booths just waiting to be won. And every paid adult patron can sign up to receive a free one-year digital subscription to Northwest Sportsman magazine in Oregon or California Sportsman magazine in California, a $39.95 value.
Fan favorites will continued to impress and include the Off-Road Outpost, the 2026 Head & Horns Competition, Northwest Tour of Big Game and Legends of the Northwest displays; a full docket of seminars led by Jody Smith, Davey Jones and more discussed the hottest outdoor topics. The speakers' schedules included expert demonstrations at the Giant Fish Tank . North American Taxidermy returns to all shows as the "Official Show Taxidermist" with another amazing exhibit of award-winning taxidermy. Young explorers started their outdoor experiences in our archery and shooting galleries, the climbing wall and at the ever-popular Live Trout Pond.
Patrons met the merchants and shop the hundreds of exhibits representing fishing, hunting, camping, boating, off-roading, RVing, ATVing, cycling, kayaking, hiking, climbing, foraging, scuba diving, and their supporting advocacy groups and governmental agencies. From novices to old pros, outdoorsmen and women started their outdoor adventures at these shows.
See you all in 2027!
