I love taking my kids to the expo. Unfortunately we can't make it this year. Glad to see its back though.

One of the greatest outdoor expo's in the US.
Kudu's to the ODW and everybody that puts this event on.

You never know who you will see at the Expo. It draws people from all over the state. Kinda like a class reunion sometimes.

We took our 2 boys last year and had a blast. It really is great!

OSA meetup?

I can think of one thing that would make an already great event even better.

RWVA needs to get a booth at the OWE to promote our revolutionary history, marksmanship and Appleseed Rifle Clinics.

It'd be cool if they could have a range setup where people could take the Rifleman's Challenge there.

Oklahoma Youth Hunting Program will have a booth there. Come on by.

The Oklahoma Wildlife Expo will celebrate its 10th anniversary next weekend at the Lazy E Arena and Ranch in Guthrie.

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation didn't know the monster it was creating when the agency held the first one in 2005.“We only expected about 10,000 people to show up and we had 55,000," said Rhonda Hurst, a Wildlife Department employee who has been the coordinator for the Wildlife Expo each year. “We have averaged right around 50,000 the whole 10-year period.”

Even though it is now 10 years old, the Wildlife Expo still attracts people who want to learn about the outdoor way of life.

“Last year, 48 percent of the people who came had never been to the Expo before,” Hurst said. “We are getting people to come try things. We are getting people outdoors.”

Was already planning to take the family Saturday morning. My 4th grade son's school setup a field trip for Friday as well. It was a surprise and I think it's cool they are doing it. Looks like I get to go twice. We had a great time last year!
