ABOUT THE SHOW
We are excited to announce the return of the Boat, Vacation & Fishing Show! The 2025 show will provide a one-stop shopping experience. Fishing boats, pontoons, Kayaks, and personal watercrafts fill the complex. We are sure we have just what you are looking for. Visit with representatives from charters and lodges or buy the latest fishing tackle.
Some of the most experienced Illinois and Wisconsin anglers and guides will be presenting informative seminars. The free trout pond, Hawg Trough, and much more will provide entertainment for the entire family.
