Need something to do this weekend that will get your mind off the fact that you can't get your boat out on the lake yet?
Consider attending the 63rd Annual Boat, Sport, and Travel show in Omaha at the Qwest Center from Thursday, Feb. 25th through Sunday, Feb. 28th.
You get to roam through row after row of outdoor wonderment including fishing equipment, RV's, fishing destinations, boats and more boats, and various outdoor related exhibits. There's always some good food being peddled by exhibitors, a trout fishing pond for the kiddos, and various seminars and "shows" throughout the weekend.

Growing up in the Omaha area, this is a show my family attended quite frequently when it used to be held down in the Civic Center. I have great memories of walking through all the exhibits and watching the shows (including lumber jack competitions, including log rolling, pole climbing, etc., as well as unusual performers like Wes Harrison).
I attended last year for the first time since the early 90's and was a little disappointed to see how much smaller the show has become. Everything now fits in one exhibition hall at the Qwest (instead of multiple exhibition halls and the main arena at the Civic back in the day). I will say it was still a pretty good day for the family and I picked up several helpful pieces of information from various exhibitors on fishing locations and strategies.
Anyone planning on attending? Please share your comments below...
