Randy Newberg. Celebrated hunter and public lands and public access advocate, Randy Newberg is joining us this year. We’re thrilled! He’ll be at the show and delivering a daily Q&A session on hunting elk on public lands. This is a special opportunity for local hunters to connect with one of the world’s best. Randy’s skilled, accessible, easy-to-talk-to and helpful.

Outdoor Cooking Competition! The first-ever Central Oregon Sportsmen’s Show Outdoor Cooking Competition is set for this year’s show.  Top outdoor cooks from across U.S. will be competing in this competition for important points needed to qualify for national and international championships. It’s one day, all-day Sunday with a focus on Dutch Oven cooking. Bread, main course and dessert are the three challenges of this competition. This is a first-ever event and an opportunity to get started with Dutch ovens or hone your already prodigious skills with advice from the best! A Sportsmen’s show never smelled so good!

Head & Horns above the rest.  Want to be impressed? Even if you don’t hunt you have to check these bodacious trophies out, they’re well worth seeing.  If you do hunt you’ll be blown away by the size of some of the mounts.  And if you have a set of horns, antlers or a head that you’d like measured and scored this is the place to bring it.  We have folks certified to measure and score your trophy and if it’s a winner the prizes are incredible! As if bagging a record animal wasn’t reward enough… Special thanks to Fort Knox, RMEF, Gerber, Danner, Leupold, Rage, Muzzy and Ruger, as the presenting sponsors of this popular show feature.

Kid’s day! Saturday is “Kid’s Day” with a couple kid-friendly features this year.  Stop-by the cooking area anytime during the day to make “Campfire chocolate bananas”…yum!!! Also, Ed Iman will be hosting his “Calling all kids” fishing seminar at 4:30.  Unfortunately, this year, there is no trout pond.  COVID restrictions just wouldn’t allow it.
