First of all, the master list of outdoors shows, classes and swap meets can be found here. Here’s a rundown of a few notable events in the coming week:
- The big one for Go & Show this week is the Chicago Boat Show. For the first time in three years, “The Boat Show” returns on Wednesday through Sunday, Jan. 11-15, at McCormick Place South. I find something comforting in a big show returning after the pandemic. I’m hoping to be there on opening day tomorrow.
- The Chicago Travel & Adventure Show is Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 14-15, at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. I hope to make it for opening day, there’s some quirky things I want to check out.
- The Spring Lake Izaak Walton Outdoor Show is Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 14-15, at 4700 W. 49th Avenue in Hobart, Ind. For more, call (219) 263-3358. Not sure yet, if I will make it there, probably should in support of the Ikes.
