BECKLEY, W.Va. – 105.9 WTNJ has launched its inaugural Hunting & Fishing Show at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center. According to one of the Co-Coordinators, Lola Rizer, the reviews are in, and it was a hit.
“There’s not really a hunting and fishing show here in southern West Virginia, so we were like, let’s give it a shot and see what happens, and as you can see it turned out pretty well,” explained Rizer.
One of the vendors was Isaiah Tuck, an outdoorsman who was also a participant on the TV show called Alone. Tuck said this event is a reprieve from the winter weather.
“Everyone’s been cooped up for the wintertime and were all ready…to get outside, do some camping, do some fishing…and all the above,” said Tuck.
Rizer also added that they’re hoping to expand upon the event next year.
“We’re always planning for next year, and…the plan will be that we just make it even bigger. This year we’re on the armory floor, next year we would love to take over the entire convention center,” continued Rizer.
To book a spot as a vendor in the show next year, you can contact Southern WV Media through their website.
