RE: Lehigh Valley Hunting and Fishing Extravaganza
“Hands on” show targeted at kids and adults alike.
L.V. HUNTING, FISHNG EXTRAVAGANZA SET FOR MID-SUMMER
Circle June 22, 23 and 24 on your calendar for the big Lehigh Valley Hunting and Fishing Extravaganza’s second annual run bringing a weekend of entertainment, contests, seminars, outdoor flea markets, dog training, product sales, competitions, 3-D bow shoots, a 50-target skeet shoot and plenty more.
Here’s what’s on tap.
* The mid-summer event – a unique mix of activities created for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, youth leaders and adults involved in the great outdoors -- will be held at the Kempton Fairgrounds in Berks County. The extravaganza will fill two inside halls, roofed picnic sites, a large, rolling lawn and small woodlands throughout which the 50-target, Shot Gun & 3-D Bow Course will be set up.
* Also popular last year was the Scout Challenge, a 10-station competition testing the outdoors skills of the youngsters in such activities as muzzleloader and BB-gun marksmanship, tomahawk tossing, casting accuracy, knot tying, laser shoot challenges and. archery novelty shoot. A Camp Gadget – Pioneering Competition will be yet another unusual contest. Last year’s duck blind building winner was Troop 72 of Fogelsville. The 2006 event drew boy and girl scouts from
three states and 19 troops. The L.V. Chapter of Safari Club International will award cash prizes to the top gun laser shooting winners.
* Another popular follow-along event last year was the Mr. L.V. Outdoorsmen Competition and Miss L.V. Competition, both to be held Saturday June 23. Everything from shooting to “deer dragging” and other tests of skill will be humorous and hard-fought. Last year’s winners were Forrest Carlson of Kutztown and Susan Transue, Walnutport. For details and to register, visit our. Outdoorsmen Competition pages of our website.
* A big hit in last year’s show was the Outdoorsmen’s Flea Market, to be held Saturday and Sunday. Last year’s sale is expected to double or triple in bargain-priced merchandise this time around. Check the show Website at www.lvhfe.com for more information.
* Another highlight will be the Pennsylvania Big Buck Display featuring the 2006 Lehigh County 16-point whitetail shot by Lynn Lazarus Sr. in archery season. The buck pulled the scales to a hefty 200 ½ -pounds and scored 187 1/8 Buck Masters points. Other bucks exceeding 130 B&C or Pope & Young points will be available for close study. Bring your own big buck mount for display. Bring your camera, too.
* Two of last June’s most enjoyable demonstrations were presented by the Swamp Dog Club with its highly-trained retrievers stealing the show. Learn also some of the secrets to training your own sporting breeds. Anther weekend-long appearance by the Berks County Performing Dogs offers tips and tricks on canine obedience training and navigating agility courses.
* Once again the Pennsylvania Federation of Black Powder Shooters will establish a mock encampment filled with lots to do and good things to eat. Touching upon primitive lifestyles, mountaineer cooking, blanket trading and plenty more, the state’s “mountain men” invite all show visitors to stop by.
* Other local groups and sportsmen’s clubs participating in the Friday through Sunday outdoor extravaganza include the: Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs; Pennsylvania Trappers Assn.; Jerry Zimmerman Memorial Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation; Walking Purchase Chapter of the NWTF; Federated Sportsmen’s Clubs of Berks County; Northampton/Lehigh Outdoor Sportsmen Assoc; U.S. Coast Guard Aux.
