The 3rd Annual Adams County Fishing and Outdoor Expo will be held on March 3 & 4, 2007 at the Buchanan Valley Fire Company.

Door prizes will be awarded both days and raffle tickets will be sold for the chance to win one of several donated items. Raffle prizes include an original painting of a brown trout by local artist David Weaver, casting instruction form Tom's Flyfishing Service, and much more! Prize winners will be drawn at the close of the event on Sunday, winners do not need to be present to win.

Proceeds from the Expo enable the Watershed Alliance and Trout Unlimited to help preserve the water quality of Adams County. Examples of the work done by our organizations are: stream restoration projects, water monitoring, stream cleanups and public education about our waterways and watersheds. The fire company also benefits from the event through admissions and food sales. Please visit the Expo on March 3 & 4; it is a great way to support three local organizations while stocking up on all your outdoor needs.
