Love the Golf and Travel Show and the Health and Fitness Show, but can’t find them on the Western Fair District entertainment listings this year?   “They are still in the District and have become part of a greater event strategy, that will develop a much broader show over the next three years,” said Andrew Kitt, Shows and Event Manager, “the SPORT and RECREATION SHOW will offer a great spectrum of exercise, health, indoor and outdoor sports, new and unique recreation activities and anything else that interests our customers as the show evolves.”

Along with a great array of exhibitor booths, demonstrations at the show will draw crowds, provide great value and motivate customers to stay and participate in a number of activities free with $5 admission.

“Our goal in year one is to start with a good base of exhibitors within a variety of sports and recreation themes, get customer feedback from those attending our first year and then grow the show into an interactive, educational showcase that ticks a number boxes for sports and recreation enthusiasts of all kinds,” said Heather Blackwell, Director of Corporate Affairs.

Sport and Recreation enthusiasts will be able to:

·         Hone your athletic abilities

·         Find a new activity or fitness routine

·         Great deals on sporting gear

·         Enhance your physic

·         Educate yourself on healthy lifestyle choices

·         Multitude of activities and seminars available FREE with admission.
