Default Best day to go to Sportsman's Show?

I have 2 days I can go, either Wed afternoon (ie 2pm arrive there) or early Friday. Do all the 'deals' get taken the first day, or will there be good stuff left on Friday?

Just wondering as ive never been to one, thanks
Russ

I would think the first day and the last day. The first day becuase they will have lot's of everything, and the last day becuase they might drop the prices so they don't have to pack a whole lot up, Plus I think the last day is when they announce the winners of the boats. Last I heard you have to be there to claim the boat. :grin: :grin: I'm gonna win one this year [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

Wed is the best, for less crowds, also parking, if you have to park in the overflow lot it takes an extra 45 min with the shuttle bus. Wed...early...all day.........have fun!!

Look forward to seeing everything at the show. It might take two days. I'm planning on it. Read an article about taking in a show and getting the most out of it. - Says 2 days!

I still believe a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. Too bad it's I owe, I owe, back to work I go.

See you weekenders at the show!

If it were me I would fish during the week and leave the crowds and enjoy the sportsman show on the weekend. Often promoters give away more stuff on the weekend too!
