My Father in Law could be classified as a "Fudd" and even he is boycotting it.

Default Re: Cabela's nixes support to PA Outdoor Show.

Due to recent changes made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Cabelas will no longer sponsor this years event. After careful consideration regarding Cabelas business practices, and the feelings of our customers, Cabelas will, unfortunately, not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

Cabelas was the primary sponsor of the show.


HUGE hit to Reed. This could be the tipping point for other big names to leave the show.


I doubt Reed will be back next year. This is going to be fatal to them on doing any gun or sportsmen related event.

Put that one in the win column. This fight is wayyy different than the 1994 fight, and we will win.

Cabela's, you now have a loyal customer in me due to your stand on this issue.

That is going to hurt them.

Someone recently mentioned that this is probably going to hit them in the pocketbook, and it should. But this many companies pulling out could have long lasting effects on them as a corporation. Many of these promotion companies are relying upon the funds from this show to help fund next year's show. If they don't make enough rates will go up significantly next year.

Don't be surprised if next year, price for admission, food vendors and regular companies to rent display space go up a lot.
