Show notes

Outdoor Retailer may be leaving, but we have suspicion another expo might be on the rise to replace it here in Utah. The Big Outdoors Expo this weekend has it all! Camping, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, just to name a few of the categories it covers. Plenty of activities for kids, as well as some great giveaways including an ATV, a gun safe, a trip to Disneyland for 4, and a white water rafting trip in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Not your scene? Then head to the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and get shot. This shooting simulator makes it feel like you've been shot (not the pain, but the mind). Many more exhibits that Ethan has ruined for us all are listed.
