booked cheap checking child enjoy entertainment event family fine fishing focused fun great home hunting husband improvement kids looking outdoors per prices sounds ticket trying various wives
We've really focused on trying to make this event something that the whole family can come out and enjoy. While the husband is off looking at hunting and fishing exhibits and the wives are off looking at home improvement displays, the kids can be checking out the fine entertainment we have booked for them this year. And with ticket prices costing just $3 for adults and $1 per child a day, it's very inexpensive. Say you have a family of four, for just $8 they can come out to the Great Outdoors Show and enjoy great food, great entertainment and check out the various exhibits. That sounds like a pretty cheap day of fun to me.
activities attendance early enjoying held last nice numbers outdoor outside people seem snow spring weather year
We really think the attendance should be up this year. Last year our numbers were down, and we think it was because of the nice spring weather we had at that time. People didn't seem to want to be cooped up indoors. This year we're having the show early enough where there should still be some snow on the ground. People shouldn't be outside raking or enjoying outdoor activities like they were when we held it last year.
