WENATCEE - The 2020 Wenatchee Valley Sportsmen Show will once again bring the outdoors indoors at the Town Toyota Center in Wenatchee on February 21, 22 & 23. This is the 7th year of this popular event and it will bring together outdoor enthusiasts and their families, to a place where they can check out what’s new in outdoor hunting and fishing gear, see what’s new in fishing boats and ATVs, learn at one of the many free seminars, or just take in all the things to see and do. Plus, there will be free fishing for the kids, hourly door prizes, fishing and hunting guides, factory reps, outdoor clubs, as well as a Fly Tying Theater.
New at this year’s show will be Nature Nick’s Animal Adventures, coming all the way from the east coast to be a part of the 2020 Wenatchee Valley Sportsmen Show. This fast-paced educational wildlife show is geared for the entire family to enjoy. The audience will be treated to a wide array of animals that could include alligators, snakes, owls, falcons, foxes, armadillos, turtles, and maybe even a Chilean flamingo. “Nature” Nick is a TV personality, author, and professional animal trainer who personally presents all shows himself. After each presentation, Nick will be available for a meet and greet where audience members can interact with some of the animals and have their photos taken. There will be several presentations each show day. Check the schedule for specific times.
