After more than a decade without a true fishing, hunting, and outdoors show in the local area, the North State Sportsman Expo will take place at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on April 9 and 10.

Just a few among those exhibiting will be Chico Sportsmans Den, Raptor Rod Works, Kevin Brock's Guide Service, Chico Rod and Gun Club, Glende Polaris, California Deer Association, Artistic Wildlife Taxidermy Service, Sierra Stream and Mountain, and even the Department of Water Resources.
