Why Vendors Are Signing Up

High-Intent Buyers

Every adult through the door paid $6–$7 to be there. These aren't window shoppers — they came to see gear.

Family Crowds

Kids 15 & under get in free, which brings couples and whole families — bigger groups, longer visits, more sales.

Regional Reach

Shelbyville sits between Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington — pulling hunters and anglers from across Kentucky.

Low-Risk Weekend

One weekend, one booth fee, two full selling days. No long-term commitment — just direct access to your customers.

Right Audience, Right Season

Early January — hunters mid-season, anglers gearing up. Prime time for calls, tackle, jigs, optics, and gear.

Early Access

This year's vendors get first dibs — early access to booth reservations for next year's shows before spots open to the public.
