While the pandemic put trade shows on the sidelines, they are back & their value to the consumer cannot be overstated
The breadth of knowledge and assortment of equipment all under one roof makes visiting fishing trade shows a one-stop shop for your needs. Rocktown Adventures will exhibit at two fishing trade shows this winter:
Chicagoland Sports, Travel & Outdoor Expo
Join us at the Chicagoland Sports, Travel & Outdoor Expo for the latest and greatest in gear, expert advice from pro anglers, and lodges and resorts that entice you to get away. Chicago’s largest all fishing trade show takes place January 25–28, 2024 at the Schaumburg Convention Center. Anything and everything fishing is all under one roof! Rocktown Adventures will be at booth B2; displaying everything you need for kayak fishing. The latest fishing kayaks from NuCanoe, Old Town, Crescent, Native Watercraft, and Bonafide, paddles from Bending Branches, outfitting accessories from YakAttack and Yak Gadget, and more! For show details, hours, and tickets, please visit the CFTO show website.
Wisconsin Fishing Expo
Does January not fit into your schedule? No worries as we have another show at the end of February. The Wisconsin Fishing Expo, the largest consumer fishing trade show in the Midwest with 20,000 attendees visiting the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI, takes place Feb 23–25, 2024. This annual event promotes the sport of fishing to enthusiasts of all ages, and a portion of the proceeds from the show benefits fishing enhancement projects throughout the state of Wisconsin. Most of us get a line wet in Wisconsin, so your ticket is actually helping you fish! 😊 For show details, hours, and tickets, please visit the Wisconsin Fishing Expo website.
