Youths will find plenty to do at Sports Fair

The International Sportsmen Exposition will be held at the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy. The show starts today and closes Sunday.

Young people attending the show will find things to do in the Giant Youth Sports Fair.

The youth fair will offer a wide variety of activities, including "virtual fishing" on a fishing simulator, pellet gun shooting at the Hunter Education Shooting trailer and a real trout pond where young anglers can catch and release fish.

The youth fair is presented by the Division of Wildlife Resources.

There will be more than 500 companies in the show presenting everything from new products to hunting and fishing opportunities.

One of the features will be the Ultimate Campsite, which will be a display of the latest camping gear. It will also be the location of the Campfire Theater, which will feature RV tips, outdoor gear, wildlife photography and fishing workshops.

Scheduled events will include the fourth annual World Championship Dutch Oven Cook-Off, the Best-of-the-West distance fly- casting championships, the fourth annual Utah Duck and Goose Calling Championship and the fourth annual Utah Elk Calling Championship.

There will also be a fly casting pond, a fly-tying video theater and sporting-dog presentations, along with an ATV test track.

There will also be two record displays at the show of Utah animal mounts and mounts from throughout the West. New horn and antler measuring information and a shed antler contest will also be part of the show.
