I truly need opinions. I have been told I should change the name to Midwest Hunting & Outdoor Show instead of our current name, Indiana Hunting & Survival Show. I was told current name sounds to specific to one place and might deter vendors from other areas from attending. I honesty never gave it much thought. Our Indiana Fishing Expo draws vendors from Utah to the west, all through the south and even Canada. I didn't think about the Expo being 29 years old and having a different following. I own the name, Midwest Hunting & Outdoor Show. Heck, I own lots of domains and some I have copyrighted.

Please give honest opinion.

With this cooler weather they ought to be up and moving more. If you get a good hit and can't find him, make sure and give Jake's Deer Recovery featuring Bullet the Tracking Dog a call and let them do the work.

Today we are officially open for vendor registration. Web site has the app uploaded to it. From here on out we get aggressive. We had to get a lot of I's dotted and T's crossed before we went full on show preparedness. We are excited to get to this part of it.

I started reaching out to seminar speakers yesterday. Bill Epeards is our first on board. I have had Bill at one of our other fishing/hunting shows and he does it right. It's an actual educational seminar and not an hour long sales pitch. You will enjoy hearing him speak.

Let's get it. Carpe Diem my friends

I wanted to clear up a little something real quick. The survivalist portion of our show. For me survival/prepping kind of go hand in hand with hunting. To sustain the off grid lifestyle hunting is a necessity. This is why I incorporated the wording into the show title. We work very hard to bring a high quality show to the public, and one our vendors are excited to be a part of. We truly like to make our shows a destination event and not just another stop on the calendar. We want everyone, vendors and patrons to circle the show and dates on their calendar. Nobody will work harder to earn your business than our little company. We are outdoorsmen and know what we want to see at a show.

We are currently hard at work with the help of a friend to get our turkey calling contest sanctioned by the NWTF.
I absolutely love building these shows from the ground up. I have 30 years experience in doing so. I don't lose sight of the task at hand. Build the best hunting show around. If I am attaching my name to it, then it has to be done correctly or I simply won't do it. How I run them is exactly why I do not have a partner. I sacrifice 100% of my time to prevent confusion, or introduction of vendors who do not belong here. Some promoters get blinded by greed and lose focus on what needs done. I do not. I am patient and I never waiver on what I am trying to accomplish.

It may come down to the wire filling a few remaining booths, but rest assured they will be filled, and they will belong in an outdoor show such as this. I am one of the most transparent promoters out there. I don't lie to my vendors, or the patrons who come. I do exactly what I say I will do. I have built some unshakeable bonds with vendors at our other shows by simply doing what I say. I am a loyalty begets loyalty kind of guy. I am not a capitalize on the moment kind of person. Anything I do I always ask, is this going to better the show now and in the future? I am also notorious for asking vendors and patrons before I make a major decision involving the show. What I think might be an amazing idea might actually be a horrible idea and I will keep doing it if I don't know it was horrible. Why I always ask for input. I am 100% open to constructive criticism and actually enjoy it. I stay motivated correcting mistakes and they only happen once.

I look forward to showing everyone what our company can do in bringing this show to the public. We hope we meet your expectations!

As we start to really get focused in on this show, what are some things you would like to see that other promoters miss, or just didn't listen to ideas? I have been doing these nearly 30 years and always listen to the people who pay the bills. We are an open canvas, so let's hear them?
