Two large fishing ponds stocked with hundreds of bluegill will host several contests as well as a Fishing Derby fundraiser, which costs just $4, but a portion of proceeds benefits St. Jude&#8217;s Hospital. Live bait and fishing poles will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Children can get a dose of the beach and feel the sand between their toes at the 400 square-foot indoor beach, sponsored by WAJI.<\/p>\n<p>Away from the water, Ehlerding River City Harley-Davidson will offer free simulated motorcycle rides, and novice hunters can learn to shoot a precision air rifle for just $5. The fundraiser led by Gregg Rice, coach of the state champion Bishop Dwenger Rifle Team, and one of only two USA\/NRA Level 3 rifle coaches in the state of Indiana, will benefit The X Count and help them become a USA Shooting Certified Training Center in Northeast Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>Young adults, and the ones at heart, can also experience the &#8220;thrill of the hunt&#8221; by targeting elk, mountain lion, bear and even a dinosaur\u00e2\u20ac\u201dall faux life-sized targets, of course\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand enter to win a Mathews Genesis Bow from the Northeast Indiana Chapter of Safari Club International.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lumber &#8220;Jack &amp; Jill&#8221; Shows<\/strong>. For the second consecutive year, STIHL Timberworks Lumberjack Shows will entertain audiences daily with ax throwing, chopping, log rolling, crosscut sawing, hot sawing and chainsaw carving contests, but with women competitors as well, also known as &#8220;Lumber Jills&#8221;\u00e2\u20ac\u201da new addition this year. The traveling group has been seen on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Wide World of Sports,&#8221; ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;Jeep Trails,&#8221; Discovery Channel&#8217;s &#8220;The Travelers,&#8221; MTV&#8217;s &#8220;The Real World&#8221; and &#8220;Road Rules,&#8221; and the Outdoor Life Network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Convenience<\/strong>. The expo saves consumers time, and takes the hassle out of driving all around Fort Wayne and even further to scope out price points and products, Marquart said. It&#8217;s the No. 1 place to start exploring, and consulting with experts face-to-face.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a 30&#8217;x40&#8242; 25,000-galloon try-before-you-buy lagoon will allow sportsmen to take kayaks or canoes for a test spin. Guests can walk through and explore a fully furnished pre-built oak cabin home, too. &#8220;It&#8217;s not something you&#8217;d typically find in the heart of Fort Wayne!&#8221; Marquart said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Affordability, and deals<\/strong>. Besides a plethora of exhibitor show-only specials and RV blowout sale, outdoor enthusiasts shouldn&#8217;t have to spend more than $7 to attend, which is valid all weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Cost is $10 for adults, but a $3 off VIP discount is available on www.SportsandCabinShow.com for a limited-time only. Early bird registrants are eligible to skip registration lines and entered to win a family 4-pack of tickets given away weekly leading up to the show, and a trip to St. Petersburg, Fla., courtesy of Rock104.<\/p>\n<p>Coupons are also available at Fort Wayne area Gander Mountain and Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods stores, and Ehlerding Motorsports prior to the show. Anyone attending the Mizpah Shrine Circus Jan. 23-26 also receives $3 off admission with a ticket stub, not valid with combined offers. Children 12 and under are free. Coliseum parking is $5 in the main lot.<\/p>\n<p>All guests receive Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods coupons and can enter to win thousands of dollars worth of door prizes given away every hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free seminars<\/strong>. Throughout the weekend, local and national experts will share valuable tips and demonstrate proper techniques in 30-minute sessions on three stages. The topics and full schedule will be available on the show&#8217;s website closer to show time.<\/p>\n<p>The show is open Friday, noon to 9 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and updates on the schedule of events, log on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftwayneallamericanoutdoorexpo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
