NRA lands new outdoors show slot in Harrisburg
The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center has selected the National Rifle Association to continue its 65-year tradition of hosting a sport show in Harrisburg, PA, starting in 2014.
Recognized as the largest consumer sports and outdoor show in the country, the renamed Great American Outdoor Show will debut Feb. 1 to 9, 2014.
Hundreds of thousands of outdoor enthusiasts are expected to attend the nine-day event of shooting, hunting, fishing, camping and boating exhibits, plus seminars, demonstrations and evening entertainment.
The Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show was canceled in January after a vendor boycott of the show. The boycott was a response to former show organizer Reed Exhibitions' decision to ban semi-automatic firearms sometimes called "modern sporting rifles" or "assault weapons" from the 2013 show after the elementary school shootings in Newtown, Conn.
