Every year, come late February, the Spokane Great Outdoors Expo brings together outdoor clubs and non-profits, outdoor adventure retailers, travel destinations, and activities for adults and families at the Spokane Convention Center. This year’s two-day event set for Feb. 22-23 will showcase everything from RVs and overlanding and biking gear to representatives of public lands agencies, outfitters, and travel destinations. Highlights include hourly presentations on a range of outdoor recreation, conservation, and natural history topics, as well as live wildlife educational presentations for kids and families.
Free entertainment all weekend includes live traditional Americana music, extreme skateboarding demonstrations, marshmallow roasting in an indoor “campground,” magic shows, crosscut log sawing demonstrations, hourly prize drawings, and a Kids’ Adventure Passport activity, where kids get to complete various challenges for an outdoors expo swag bag. Attendees also get into the Spokane Golf Show, which is connected to the Great Outdoors Expo, with their ticket. More info at Spokaneoutdoorexpo.com. (OTO)
