For many Vermonters, immersion in the great outdoors can be an exhilarating experience. Before trekking into field or stream, though, it’s smart to stock up on the appropriate gear. With nearly 200 exhibitors, the Yankee Sportsman’s Classic provides a one-stop shop for outdoor enthusiasts of every stripe. Whether fans of hunting, fishing, archery, ATVs, or wildlife-inspired arts and crafts, browsers find plenty of vendors to get their motors running. Seminars covering topics such as trophy fishing, beekeeping and tracking help attendees sharpen their skills, while a petting farm, dog demonstrations and a trout pond keep kiddos occupied. Partial proceeds from this info and equipment emporium benefit Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.
