* * * Outdoor Expo draws 33,000 over weekend,
record 5,000 on Youth DayThe Arizona Game and Fish Department’s 2012 Outdoor Expo drew 33,000 peop-le over the March 31-April 1 weekend at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix. In addition, a record 5,000 schoolchildren, teachers and chaperones attended the Expo Youth Day on Friday, March 30, meaning 38,000 people total attended over the three days.
The three-day total is the second highest in Expo history behind last year's 42,000. Officials attributed the slight drop in attendance due to near-record heat on Saturday.
The Outdoor Expo is an annual event conducted by Game and Fish to give the public the chance to learn about wildlife-related and outdoor recreation activities, including wildlife viewing, fishing, hunting, archery, shooting sports, camping, off-highway vehicle recreation, and boating recreation.

The Phoenix Booth—Danny Friend (standing) Jackie Wanta and an unidentified participant worked the booth at Expo.In addition to the hands-on activities, more than 160 exhibitors were on hand, including sportsmen and conservation organizations, government agencies, and commercial vendors of outdoor products and services.
Once again the Phoenix Sail and Power Squadron was an exhibitor, drawing attention from the tens of thousands attending.
In addition to those supporting the Squadron at the booth on Saturday and Sunday the event was supported by those helping at a bag stuffing party held at SystemAire earlier. Jim Hill, Candace Martin and Joe Warren helped stuff handout bags. Bill and Connie Johnson and Terry Gray helped out also. All helping out seemed to have had a good time while helping.* * *
