Western Outdoor Times - Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!

Thanks again to Bob Brown of Media Direction for the featured photo. The "cover girl" for this issue shows the form for fun in the water as the weather warms. Yes, it's boating season again in the Southwest, and the Lake Havasu Boat Show is the place to be to get a head start on what's new in craft and accessories this year.

But wait; there's more! At Lake Pleasant, the second annual Lanterns at the Lake event is just around the corner. It's a beautiful and meaningful time to launch memories, wishes, and dreams via lighted lanterns sent aloft.

Last but not least are the two anxiously awaited annual expos: The Arizona Game & Fish Department's family friendly Expo, and the ever-popular International Sportsmen's Expo.

Bottom line: Enjoy them all and then make wonderful outdoor memories this season.
