The Hunting and Fishing Day Expo & NH Tour on September 26, 2009, is a statewide event hosted by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, with presenting sponsor Wildlife Heritage Foundation of New Hampshire.
The Expo - Concord
This fall's big hunting and fishing event in the Granite State! The Fish and Game grounds at 11 Hazen Drive in Concord, N.H., will be transformed into an outdoor sporting show. Admission is free. More than 50 product manufacturer representatives will be on hand with exciting exhibits, demonstrations and activities. (For those familiar with Discover Wild New Hampshire Day, the Expo is modeled on that event, but with a direct focus on hunting and fishing-related products and services.) Just for coming, you'll be entered into a free drawing for prizes including a Triumph Bone Collector .50 cal. muzzleloader donated by Thompson Center Arms, a handheld GPS unit from DeLorme, and fishing maps and guidebooks from Fishing Guides of New England. The hatchery truck will be there with big fish on display. Archery range, hunting dog demos, boats, guns, kayaks, canoes, fishing gear, tackle and more! Food concession available.
