It hardly seems possible that the eighth annual Tri-Cities Sportsmen Show will open its doors Friday through Sunday at TRAC in Pasco. The smoke hasn't even cleared from the last volleys of the 2000-01 waterfowl hunting season, and already the parade of sportsmen shows are beginning.
Scheduling is always a problem.
Despite the logistics, Shuyler is optimistic Tri-City sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts will show up in good numbers. Last year, we had 8,000 people attend. Our Central Washington Sportsmen Show at Yakima's SunDome drew 10,000, and we'd sure like to see that in the Tri-Cities. The Yakima show is Feb. 23-25. 3-D archery shoot is sponsored by Colyak Bowhunters.
