While this is a first annual event, our organizers have a combined 75+ years in event promoting and marketing. Many first year events fail because the organizers are afraid to invest the money it takes to pull off a successful event. We are committed to making this event the biggest annual outdoor & sportsman's expo in the Allegheny region and our partnership with the Altoona Curve will bring a lot of exposure to vendors, sponsors, and event attendees.
Based on past events at PNG Field, we expect an attendance of 3000-5000 outdoor enthusiasts. We are passing out 1000+ rubber ducks and bucks with invitations to Jeep and Bronco owners all over western and central Pennsylvania inviting them to the show. In addition, vendors will receive free tickets they can sell to recuperate some of the booth costs. We want all of our vendors to come back next year so we are sparing no expense at promoting our event so that you can make money.
We have scheduled a variety of expert presenters in all areas of outdoor adventure & sporting activities, wilderness skills, and wildlife. We have some popular presenters from all over plus local heroes and legends. All of our presenters and many of our vendors have large followings which will bring the crowd to the event. In addition to that, we have invested a lot of money into our Allegheny Fun Zone, providing activities like a petting zoo, stocked fishing pond with fishing experts on hand, golf swing instruction from a golf pro, and fun popular outdoor games like corn hole, pickleball, and kick darts. Our website activity has been very high and we are hearing a lot of buzz in the local community about our event. We expect to sell out and this year's vendors and sponsors will have the opportunity to renew their contracts with the event into 2026 so don't miss out on this well-organized, growth-minded expo that has high public and high vendor interest.
We are doing Eventbrite email marketing and will be promoting the event on Visitpa.com as well as paid advertising in Mother Earth News Fair, Grit, and Countryside. Subscribers to Visitpa.com, Mother Earth News Fair, Grit, and Countryside are largely outdoor enthusiasts but they also are event goers. In addition, the Altoona Curve will be promoting the event on TV, radio, and to their large and dedicated fan base. Our listing also appears on other event listing sites and on https://www.huntingfishingandoutdoorshows.com/

Based on past events at PNG Field, the event partnership with Altoona Curve, past turnout for the former Jaffa Sports Show, and our advertising reach, we expect an attendance of 3000-5000 outdoor enthusiasts (this is a conservative estimate). We are passing out 1000+ rubber ducks and bucks with invitations to Jeep and Bronco owners all over western and central Pennsylvania inviting them to the show. In addition, vendors will receive free tickets they can sell to recuperate some of the booth costs. We want all of our vendors to come back next year so we are sparing no expense at promoting our event so that you can make money. Pre-ticket sale early registration has been strong already with minimal promotion.
No, we are not associated with the Jaffa Sports Show. That show has been permanently cancelled. After talking to vendors and attendees of prior year Sports Show at the Jaffa, we felt vendor & attendee interest declined at the former Sports Show in Altoona because of the lack of hands-on activities and expert presenters in later years. In addition, the venue for the prior sports show had its limitations. We have a great venue that provides us with plenty of inside and outside space, some great activities planned that will not only draw a crowd but draw quality vendors to drive ticket sales, and targeted advertising to draw attendees from all over Pennsylvania as well as New York, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland.
