With many of the outdoor-show opportunities of interaction with the public gone during the pandemic, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission today will launch a weeklong virtual outdoor expo.
The virtual event will be hosted on the commission’s Facebook page and will feature agency experts conducting informational sessions about fishing and boating topics.
PFBC To Host Virtual Outdoor Expo February 8-12
HARRISBURG, Pa. â The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) invites the public to participate in a virtual outdoor expo scheduled for February 8-12, 2021.
This virtual event will be hosted on the PFBC Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/PaFishandBoat), featuring agency experts conducting several informational sessions about fishing and boating topics.
âIn the absence of many of the popular outdoor shows and expos that that have been cancelled across the state this winter, Fish and Boat Commission staff will be missing out on some great opportunities to interact with the public and let them know about our programs,â said Mike Parker, PFBC Director of Communications. âBy offering these virtual sessions with some of our most knowledgeable staff and educators, we hope to fill a void for people who have an interest in certain areas of fishing and boating, and provide them with the chance to ask a question or two.�
