[Danno]

Info received from Jeff Lampe:

The first Elmwood AllOutdoors Show will be held March 6-7 in Elmwood, Illinois.

Please pass this information on to your readers, listeners, friends and family.

We will have more than 90 booths of hunting-and fishing-related items and we are trying hard to keep the show focused only on the outdoors. Well, we will have one table selling Girl Scout cookies. Eating is important, too.

Anyway, thanks in advance for your help to spread the word. All proceeds from the show benefit the Elmwood High School fishing team, Elmwood athletes and Elmwood athletic teams.

PRESS RELEASE
True outdoor show returns to the Peoria area
New Elmwood AllOutdoors Show is March 6-7 in Elmwood

ELMWOOD – Hunters and anglers will be happy to learn a true outdoors show is returning to the Peoria-Canton-Galesburg area on March 6-7. The focus of the Elmwood AllOutdoors Show is fishing, hunting and the great outdoors. This new event will be held in Elmwood High School on Saturday, March 6 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, March 7 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Admission is $5 for adults and free for youngsters 13 and under. Parking is free. Food and drink will be sold.

More than 90 booths are expected and will feature a wide variety of outdoors-related products and services. Visit http://www.elmwoodalloutdoors.com to see an updated list of vendors. In addition to those fine vendors, other highlights of the show include:

►A Big Buck Contest. For $10 hunters get two show passes and can have their trophy bucks measured by certified Boone and Crockett Club and Pope and Young Club measurers. Deer will be displayed and five top entries will win plaques. There will also be a random drawing for prizes among all who enter deer. So you don’t need the biggest buck to go home a winner.

►A fishing pond for youngsters, courtesy of Herman Brothers Pond Management and the Elmwood Community Foundation. For $3 kids get 5 minutes of fun fishing for trout, giant blue catfish sunfish and other species. If you catch a trout we will clean and vacuum pack the fish so you can take it home for dinner for an additional $2. Prizes will also be awarded for top catches.
