Western Outdoor Times - Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!

The largest hands-on outdoor expo in Arizona is at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department's Outdoor Expo will feature everything from wildlife exhibits and family fishing tanks and trying out firearms in a safe, controlled environment on the range.

March 23-24, Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission and parking are free.

"We're not aware of any other free event that combines conservation, recreation and industry into such a welcoming environment for the public," said Ty Gray, AZGFD director. "This is where people can find plenty of hands-on activities, see educational exhibits, test and purchase the latest equipment and products, and connect with social organizations that can provide countless 'next step' experiences to support their outdoor passions."

Another great event is expected with more than 150 exhibitors, including outdoor recreation and conservation groups, government agencies and commercial vendors of outdoor products and services.
