Elmwood All Outdoors Show
2010 Show testimonials

  “Thanks for putting on a great outdoor show.
My parents brought me to the show and I bought a lot of fishing lures, got to shoot a bow and caught this big catfish.

Thanks again. I hope you have the show again next year.”

  “Thanks for putting on a great event last weekend at the Elmwood All Outdoors Show! We were very impressed with how smoothly everything functioned. We had great support from the students with unloading on Friday night and loading on Sunday evening. During our interactions with the show attendees in our booth, we heard from many, that this show was the best they had ever attended and the variety of vendors/activities greatly exceeded their expectations. We are very happy with the interest our products received from the attendees that visited our booth. We made many new customers and have expanded our customer base. We would like to participate in the 2011 Elmwood All Outdoors Show.”

• Bob Matthies and Ken Sals, Cool Fishing Stuff, Cicero

  “My daughter and I really enjoyed the show. You guys did a bang up job for your first one, so please let everyone involved know this. My daughter liked all the fishing displays and even caught one of the striped bass in the pool out back. We had to check out all the tackle in the place and I finally got her to settle for picking out a handful of rubber worms and rubber crawdad's from Presley's corner in the smaller gymnasium. The food was good. We had lunch in the cafeteria and it was nice to set down and talk a little.”

• Dave Single, Peoria

  “First let me say that my whole family really enjoyed the show, and even my wife who is not the biggest outdoors person really enjoyed walking through and seeing all the beautiful deer mounts. Thanks for the opportunity. We look forward to attending next year as well.”

• Chawn C. Huffaker, Earlville

  “My family and I had a great time at the Elmwood outdoor expo. My oldest son, Cooper, was able to catch a trout in your trout pond. He had a great time! We left and immediately came home to grill the fish! Attached is a picture of him and his younger brother Bryer enjoying the fish for lunch. Thanks again HB Pond Management for all your time and efforts. It was a great kid-friendly activity.”

• Brent Nelson
