The annual Arizona Sportsmen Boat & RV Expo returns for its 20th anniversary in the Valley March 13-15 at WestWorld of Scottsdale.
The Arizona Sportsmen, Boat & RV Expo event includes hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest destinations and products for fishing, hunting, boating, RVing, off-roading and destination travel, according to a press release.
New, this year, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in clinics including Wilderness Survival with experts Matt and Brooke Wright, who are contestants on The Discovery Channel’s hit show, “Naked and Afraid.”
Outdoor Gear Guru Dan Kidder adds daily demos to the Outdoor Product Showcase, according to the release.
And, to celebrate 20 years, outdoor enthusiasts will have the chance to win prizes including an ATV or PWC, plus a deluxe Camp Chef pellet grill, and a complete campsite for two from Klymit.
