It's the Southern Illinois Boat and Fishing Show at the Pavilion in Marion!  Everything starts up this Friday, (2-2-24) and runs through Sunday afternoon! As always, FREE parking, and FREE admission to the Pavilion this weekend!  Bring the kids because they've got their own Kids Zone with arts and crafts and the fishing simulator from the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge will be there!  Plenty of Boats and outdoor equipment will be on display, and new vendors as well!  PLUS, bring a canned food item for a chance to win one of 25 Smokey Joe grills donated from Oasis Lawn and Garden!  I had Ashlee Spiller with Visit SI on the Kent in the Country Morning Show today to talk about this year's event!
