at the Johnstown Moose Club (109 South Comrie Ave/Rte 30A Johnstown)
The show will be geared towards the tastes of Hunters, Fisherman and Outdoors Enthusiasts, with exhibits containing items for sale pertaining to: hunting & fishing gear/supplies, guns, archery, trapping, camping, hiking, snow shoeing, guides & charter services, taxidermy and antique hunting & fishing gear.
“Featured Guests” will include Trapper John Sawyer, as well as book authors Robert J. Elinskas and Don Williams. Sawyer will have an exhibit on the history of trapping, along with a display of hats made from the pelts of 16 different species he has trapped over a 50+ year trapping career. Elinskas, the author of 10 books related to Adirondack Hunting, returns with his newest book titled “The Wild Side of Northern New York.” The book contains stories on hunting, fishing and trapping from across the Adirondacks, including Lake George and the St. Lawrence River. Williams, the author of 18 books about the Adirondacks, returns with his newest book called “Grandfather’s Tool Chest”, which features write-ups on 400 tools used from the 1700’s to the early 1900’s.
Elinskas and Williams will have copies of their books available for purchase. In addition, many other authors and industry experts are scheduled to be on hand throughout the weekend discussing Outdoor & Hunting/Fishing subjects with attendees.
Robert Elinskas has spent over half a century hunting the Adirondacks, and telling great tales of the Adirondacks by writing books.
Don Williams is an Adirondacker. He was born and raised in the Adirondacks and has never lived or worked more than five miles from the Adirondacks.
In his 60 years of trapping, Trapper John has trapped across much of the United States, including Alaska, but has predominantly trapped in Fulton County.
Door prizes of gear and equipment will be given away throughout the weekend.

Our events do not consist of “fluff vendors” whom we simply collect a rental fee from (irregardless as to whether they offer items/services that cater to Outdoorsmen! I am an “Outdoorsman” and if I do not think a vendor strictly fits the category of “Outdoorsman”, I do not allow them to be part of the event! I often times pass up lucrative rental opportunities, but I would rather “give away” the extra space to vendors with the proper mix of products, than to fill up our events with “junk”. This is the one thing that sets our events apart from the larger (or what appear to be larger) shows in larger cities.
