Virginia Outdoor Sportsman's Show, Richmond

The Virginia Outdoor Sportsman Show takes place every year at the Showplace (the former Zayre) department store in eastern Richmond, Virginia. This show not only features guns and hunting equipment, but also farm tools, camping gear, truck accessories, wooden art, and even cooking and spices. The state department of game and inland fisheries even has booths there on safe and legal hunting and fishing. I really felt at home here because I mert a lot of folks from Southern Virginia, even Oxford, North Carolina. Some came from as far away as Georgia and Arkansas to attend this event.

Here's how to get there: NORTH: South on I-95 to I-295 exit 37B (360 W.). Go about 4 mi.; on the right. SOUTH: North on I-95 to I-64 East in Richmond. (From the east and west on I-64 also do this): take the exit 192, Rt. 360 east. Go about 1/2 mile; on the left.
