Play in Utah's Biggest Outdoor Toy Box with hands-on activities throughout the festival and more than 65 acres of space to play. The expo features clubs and organizations from all facets of outdoor recreation, sharing their passion for the outdoors. Conservation organizations, hunting and fishing related companies and outdoor activities will be available. Participants can try their aim on a gun simulator or archery lane, showcase their elk, duck, goose, or turkey calls, participate in the fly casting competition or learn how to tie a pattern that will entice big cutthroat trout at Strawberry Reservoir. Backcountry Horsemen, dog and other animal related organizations will host presentations throughout the weekend. Additional opportunities will be provided by the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Utah State Parks and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Enjoy a bird walk along the Jordan River Parkway with Bill Fennimore or take a spin on the mountain bike track. See wild horses from BLM Lands or kayak the Jordan River. Fish with radio controlled boats on the youth fishing pond. Compete in the Wild West Barbecue Showdown, Dutch Oven Cook-off, Campfire Cookoffs or race radio controlled cars around their own track. Learn how to pan for gold or find hidden treasure with a metal detector or GPS receiver. Learn about wilderness survival and build a fire with a bow drill. Visit with outdoor book authors or take a test drive on the OHV and 4x4 Test Tracks. Wildlife art and photography will be featured as well as taxidermy. In addition, visitors will see the newest trailers, boats, trucks and off highway vehicles. Compare features and save money on new toys at the beginning of summer. A wide variety of youth activities can be found throughout the expo, providing great educational hands-on experiences to connect them with the outdoors.
