Utah Boat Show, Other Big Outdoor Rec Shows

The annual Utah Boat Show and Watersports Expo will be held Feb. 6-9 in the South Towne Expo Center, in the southern part of the Salt Lake Valley.

It is the first of the big sports expos that attract crowds during late winter. These are all "hands-on" shows. They provide a great opportunity to see, touch and sometimes try out new products. You can buy gear at show prices, learn from experts, meet celebrities and, in general, have a good time.

There are always demonstrations, contests and workshops.

Other shows coming up soon include:

• Utah Sportsmen's Vacation & RV Show - Feb 13-16
• International Sportsmen's Exposition - March 13-16
• Wasatch Fly Tying & Fly Fishing Expo - March 28-29

All of these shows are held at the South Towne Expo Center, 9575 S. State Street, Sandy, UT 84070; 385-468-2260

If you participate you can get a jump on the season, get ready for early spring adventure, and learn new skills.

We hope to see you there.
