Tackle Show at Cox Center
A winter tackle show is returning to Oklahoma City but to the Cox Convention Center and not the state fairgrounds.
After a two year absence, Oklahoma City is getting a winter tackle show but with a new promoter and at a new location
The Oklahoma Tackle and Hunting Show will be Jan. 28-30 at the Cox Convention Center.
The Oklahoma Tackle Show, held each February for 29 consecutive years at the state fairgrounds, was one of the premier tackle shows in the Southwest.
In its heyday, the Oklahoma Tackle Show attracted huge crowds, as many as 30,000 visitors over the Valentine’s Day weekend.
Before Bass Pro Shops came to Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Tackle Show was the one-stop shopping mecca for anglers.
years. Hue Wiersig, the man most responsible for the show, died in 2006 and the show was taken over by an Indiana promoter.
Blaming the economy, that promoter canceled the show the last two years.
Now, Montgomery Productions is bringing a tackle show to the Cox Convention Center the same weekend as the Winter Boat Show at the state fairgrounds.
In addition to tackle and hunting guides, the Oklahoma Tackle and Hunting Show is advertising knife dealers, a dog show, fishing seminars, a kids fishing pond, kids archery shooting, blue grass music, a wild turkey calling contest and more.

I did not learn anything on this blog. What time is the tackle show???????? Also does it cost anything to get in???????
At the time this blog was written, that information wasn’t available on the show’s website. It is now. There is a link to it in the blog. The cost and hours of the show were also in Sunday’s newspaper. Here is the link http://www.newsok.com/winter-boat-show-opens-thursday-in-oklahoma-city/article/3534743#
I do enjoy the manner in which you have framed this particular problem and it does indeed offer me personally a lot of fodder for thought. On the other hand, through just what I have witnessed, I simply just wish as the actual responses pile on that folks continue to be on point and not get started on a tirade regarding some other news of the day. Yet, thank you for this outstanding point and whilst I can not really go along with this in totality, I value your standpoint.
About time!!
