Game Fair?

[verg]

My my wife and son and I are heading to Bemidji to visit sister and thought about hitting the game fair first then up to her place. I have never been there but heard good things.

Do you guys recommend checking it out? What is there to see?

Can you buy/shop for hunting gear there? Is it worth the 4 and half hour drive east before heading north?

thanks

If you've never been to Game Fair I'd say yes to all of the above. There is plenty stuff to see and for sale.

Plan on spending the whole day! Yes it is worth the drive.

I guess the only thing I would qualify is it depends on the weather. Raining? Really Really hot? I may skip it and hope that it's better on the way back. I've never thought the deals were that great, but they probably pick up on the last day when folks don't want to haul stuff back. There are some neat demonstrations that you can spend a lot of time at.

As far as deals at Game Fair are concerned...I'm out there every day all day and have been so for the last four years. In my opinion there are a few extra deals to be had at a few places the last day, but most everybody is going to give you the same deal day one as day six.....it's not like this is the only show they do. Most of the exhibitors pack up from Game Fair and head either to the State Fair or the DU show in Osh Kosh.

You don't get the deal you don't ask for!
