Knoxville, TN. (January 13th. 2021) – The East Tennessee Fishing Show, one of the premier fishing expos in the southeast announces a special on-line virtual fishing event. During the week of January 18th the East Tennessee Fishing Show will be hosting a variety of on-line content via Facebook Live and YouTube. This content includes vendor product demos, seminars, multi specie content and even contests where viewers can win some great prizes. Hosted by veteran fishing pro Mike DelVisco it’s sure to be a fun week of fishing content.
Shelia Bunch, owner of the East Tennessee Fishing Show adds “due to COVID-19 and the unfortunate cancellation of our physical show I felt we needed to do something for the vendors that have been so faithful to us over the years” “Our show is so special in that it’s one of the biggest collection of unique fishing vendors in the country from custom tackle makers, mom and pop stores and major manufactures and the East Tennessee Fishing Show gives them the platform to expose their products to consumers not only from TN but from the many attendees coming from all over the country. “
As a result the East Tennessee Fishing Show will be broadcasting Live on their Facebook page and YouTube for the week starting January 18th.
“We are in process of finalizing our schedules and will be posting it on all our social media platforms. I’m excited we were able to come up with a plan to at least offer a little something to our valued vendors and allow them to showcase their products and services in a unique and fun way”
About the East Tennessee Fishing Show:
For over 30 years the Fishing Show has been held in the Knoxville area, with several owners and various locations the success of the show had been up and down to the point of failure.
In 2010 a new owner Shelia Bunch stepped in with a drive, passion and determination to create the best fishing show of its type in the Southeast.
The first thing that took place was the show was renamed “The East TN Fishing Show”. The next step was to rebuild the show with exhibitors and boat dealers with a 100% focus on the fishing industry. Each year there was steady growth which led to reaching full capacity at The Jacobs Building and a waiting list of exhibitors. Due to the increasing demand the decision was made to move to the Knoxville Expo Center, with over 90,000 square feet of available space. The new facility allowed a more stream-lined move in and out for exhibitors as well as being in an area that is more convenient to restaurants and hotels.
With being the first year at the new location it was never expected to reach full capacity for 2016 but two months prior to opening day the event was sold out of exhibitor space with a waiting list for 2017.
Our main goal is to provide you with a worthwhile fishing event to attend for all fishermen that have a passion for fishing and is fun for the whole family.
