New Cabela’s store opens in Fort Oglethorpe

Scores gathered outside the new Fort Oglethorpe Cabela’s this morning as the mega outdoor outfitter opened the doors of its third Georgia store with a bow and arrow ribbon cutting and visits from top company brass.

Folks also waited in line hoping to be one of the first in the store and win a prize, like a $1,000 shopping spree or a GoPro camera.

Country newcomer Lucas Hoge, signed in March as a Cabela’s brand ambassador, entertained between 8 and 10 a.m.

Throughout the weekend, the first 50 people through the doors will receive a free gift: Cabela’s utility bag on Thursday, May 14; commemorative cap on Friday, May 15; tripod stool on Saturday, May 16; and a gift card on Sunday, May 17.
