Columbia-Montour Quarterly Vol. 7: January-March 2023

If you’re looking for a new bow, fishing lure or turkey call this the place to be. ATV’s, outfitters, wildlife art – there is far too much to list. Jenna and Jarrett work to make sure that the vendors are unique and each bring something different to the show. Beyond that, this hardworking couple also partners with the Pennsylvania State Game Commission to offer a Hunter Safe- ty Course. It is set for Thursday evening (1/26) and Saturday morning (1/28) so kids can participate. This is a two-day course; students are required to attend both days. The cost of the class is $40 per person. Check out the Early Bird Sports Expo this Janauary 26 -29, 2023 at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. Parking is free, and kids 12 and under get free admission. Entry fee for anyone 13 and over is only $7.00. Learn more at earlybirdexpo.net. Don’t miss this amazing event!

hard to pry kids away from their iPads and game consoles. I may be dating myself here, but when I was growing up there was no Internet, phones were still attached to walls and we had four television channels. We had to make our own fun and most of that came from being outside. After talking to Jenna, I told my 12-year-old about the Early Bird Sports Expo and the things to see and do there. He can’t wait to go! The Early Bird Sports Expo is not just for hunters. This inclu- sive event is for everyone. Some of the activities include a scavenger hunt for kids 12 and under – there are representa- tions birds, reptiles and mammals (11 of each) hidden on the various booths throughout the show. Lasertag, 3-D archery shoots (bring your own bow), paper shoots, axe throwing and more are available. Don’t forget about the food – soup, hot sausage, apple dump- lings, French fries, subs, kettle corn and more. I got hungry just writing that!
