Outdoor enthusiasts looking for bargains in the gear they need for paddling, diving, running, fishing or camping won’t want to miss the Outdoor Expo and Gear Swap on Saturday at Coolidge Park.
The fourth annual event, sponsored by Outdoor Chattanooga and Rock/Creek Outfitters, gets bigger every year, said Ruth Thompson of Outdoor Chattanooga.
“We will have 40 to 50 exhibitors, including clubs, conservation organizations, outfitters and retailers,” said Thompson, noting that a complete list of exhibitors can be found at www.outdoorchattanooga.com.
The event started as a chance for the public to see how many “ways and means there are to play outdoors in the area,” she said. It is also a social event that brings together outdoor enthusiasts, “all of whom are usually scattered all over the woods, lakes and rivers.”
Additionally, Outdoor Expo & Gear Swap is a fundraiser for Outdoor Chattanooga.
