FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Show Attracts Canada‘s Best
The All-Canada Show, visiting Minneapolis Friday-Sunday, Feb. 18-20 at the
Earle Brown Heritage Center, features Canada‘s top fishing and hunting destinations. The
28th annual event also includes free seminars, free maps and travel guides, a free
magazine with features and tips on Canadian adventures, free Cabela‘s hunting simulator
and, on opening night, a free Dardevle collector lure.
Adventurers interested in traveling to Canada will find a wide variety of
destinations including canoe outfitters, drive in resorts, remote fly-in outposts, 5-star fly-
in lodges and hunting outfitters. The shows website lists exhibitors in each market
including links to their websites. Go to AllCanadaShow.com for details.
The show is also a resource for planning the perfect adventure. ―The key to a
successful Canadian trip is proper planning,‖ says the shows media manager Joel Prunty,
―That‘s the whole premise of the All-Canada Show – we have everything you need to
plan your trip. The opportunity for show guests to talk, face-to-face, with the owners and
operators of these lodges greatly improves their chances of a successful adventure.‖
Show staff and featured speaker Norm ―the Great‖ McCreight use their combined
50 years fishing and hunting expertise on the show‘s seminar stage to educate anglers and
hunters. These informational presentations offer insight into selecting for the perfect
destination, choosing the right lodge plan, crossing the border, plus tips on saving money
and wilderness safety.
Prunty also noted, ―There are some misconceptions out there about trips to
Canada, the biggest being that it is expensive. Our show does host some of the finest
lodges and resorts anywhere in the world, but there are also many housekeeping lodges
and camps offering fabulous fishing for $500 per person for a week and everything in
between.‖
―If you like Canada, there‘s plenty to keep you occupied at the show,‖ he said,
―Although the primary purpose of the show is to select the perfect destination for your
adventure, we also offer a variety of information, attractions and entertainment to aid in
the process and create a real Canadian atmosphere.‖
