2008 Wildlife Expo’s Outdoor Marketplace to be bigger and better

            The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s fourth annual Oklahoma Wildlife Expo, slated for September 26-28 at the Lazy E Arena, will again include the popular Outdoor Marketplace, but officials also say the second year for this Expo feature will be even better than last year.
            “The Outdoor Marketplace is a huge tent at the Expo where vendors are set up to display and offer for sale a huge selection of outdoor-related products and services,” said Rhonda Hurst, Expo coordinator for the Wildlife Department. “This year, though, the huge tent will have even more vendor space, so even more products will be available to shoppers at the Expo.”
            Additionally, Hurst said the Outdoor Marketplace may have a different location at the Expo to provide more exposure to the tens of thousands of visitors that hit the Expo over a three-day period.
            “The Expo focuses on educating its visitors about the outdoors, and it is all completely free,” Hurst said. “Therefore, it draws huge crowds of people who come for a day of fun and learning. The Marketplace gives these outdoor-minded guests a place to shop for the latest in outdoor products and services that cater to their lifestyles, while providing vendors a place to showcase their goods to the people that will want to buy them.”
            The Wildlife Department will be working with a range of organizations, individuals and outdoor-related companies to host the Expo — an event intended to promote and develop appreciation for Oklahoma’s wildlife and natural resources.
