I went one time and really enjoyed myself but never again. And those parking lots downtown, well all I can say is, they cram cars in there so tight you can't even open your car door to get out. It was just after 9/11 and there were probably close to 1000 people waiting in line. I swear, you could have heard a pin drop in that place. The show itself was up on another floor level and I suppose there was a building code load limit on the amount of people they could allow in at any one time. Anyhow, once we got up to the show itself we did have a pretty good time. I thought it was more oriented to boats, campers, and fisning. As for the hunting part there were several outfitters trying to sell their services and there were several seminars that I didn't bother to fight the crowd to go to.

Overall, I'd say if you enjoy that kind of stuff go ahead and go. I think you'll have a good time, as I did. I guess my biggest problem was I just don't like being in big crowds. But for the first timer, I think you'll really enjoy.
