Looking for an adventure the whole family can enjoy? The 56th annual Cincinnati Travel, Sports & Boat Show®, presented by Ram®, rolls into Duke Energy Convention Center a week from today – January 18-20 and 23-27, 2013 – and your family is invited to take in all the action.
A Midwest tradition for outdoor and sports enthusiasts, this year’s show will feature more than 500 exhibitors representing boats, marine services, campers, travel trailers, travel destinations and outdoor recreation – everything your family needs to create that perfect outdoor experience year-round. In addition to the sights and sounds, your youngsters will have the opportunity to learn outdoor fundamentals in the areas of golf, fishing and more … family fun and education all under the same roof!
Youth education and interactive opportunities onsite include, but are not limited to:
- Saturday, Jan. 19 – Joel Suggs, PGA, Meadow Links & Golf Academy,
Junior Golf … SUCCESS seminar (2 p.m.)* - Saturday, Jan. 19 – Dan Armitage, host of Buckeye Sportsman with Dan Armitage radio show,
Kids Fishing Fun seminar (noon, 3 & 6 p.m.)* - Sunday, Jan. 20 – Dan Armitage, host of Buckeye Sportsman with Dan Armitage radio show,
Kids Fishing Fun seminar (noon & 2 p.m.)* - Saturday, Jan. 26 – National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF),
River Valley Longbeards 7th Annual Turkey Calling Contest (1 p.m.) - Entire show – Hamilton County Parks booth, Interactive Climbing Wall
*Seminars and activities are included in the price of admission.
Armitage has been teaching youth anglers for years with his Kids Fishing Fun seminars as he travels the country during winter months.
“I present the Kids Fishing Fun program to offer children – and the adults who bring them to the show – the basic skills and knowledge they need to try fishing when they get a chance,” Armitage says. “Fishing is a non-competitive, outdoor activity that they can enjoy alone, with the family or group of friends, and a sport they can engage in for the rest of their lives. I demonstrate the use of simple tackle and live baits to show the audience how to fish from shore for easy-to-catch fish species and then end the program with a child actually doing that: catching a fish!”
To back-up his expertise, Armitage holds a degree in education from The Ohio State University and led Ohio’s Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs educational program for the Ohio Division of Wildlife when it kicked off nationally a decade ago. In addition, Armitage is a full-time freelance outdoors and boating writer and syndicated outdoor radio host.
Cincy-area show-goers can tune in to his weekly radio show, Buckeye Sportsman with Dan Armitage, Saturdays from 6-7 a.m. on WQRT, 1160-AM. For more info about Dan and his programs, visit www.buckeyesportsman.net.

Admission for adults is $11. Adults can save $3 on admission by purchasing tickets at Cincinnati-area Kroger stores. Children (ages 13 and under) are free when accompanied by a paying adult. Wednesday, January 23, is “Buck Night,” when admission (children and adults) is $1.

Good Luck!
This involves setting a line of hundreds,
or even thousands, of baited hooks near the surface of the ocean to catch bluefin tuna.
The current Great Lakes record Chinook Salmon, weighing
47 pounds and 13 ounces, was caught here in 1991.
However, when you add breadcrumbs or another simple powder to the outside
of your bait, the fish will immediately get a taste of your bait and
be more inclined to follow it.
What is the most important portion is the sincere words that you put together in the poems that will
catch the attention of the one you loved as this is what you truly want from the romantic poems that you have created
for him. Apart from the above said love and poems of war there are other
genre too. On the other hand children spend most of their
time with their mothers, who love deeply, scold harshly,
they worry extremely but in the end they make you what you are.
My favorite vacation would be at a ky state lake.
