This remarkable walk through animal attraction is geared for the entire family to enjoy. What you should expect to see is a close up of some of nature’s most amazing animals. Depending on availability, animals that will be at the show will include a tiger, cougar, bobcat, Canadian lynx, and other animals that are a part of this exhibit. During show hours, handlers will be on hand to explain and showcase each animal plus answer questions.

Plus, back for the 20th year, the Outdoor Cooking Camp set up and hosted by Richy Harrod of Harrod’s Cookhouse Field to Table, will cook a different dish each day with several demonstrations throughout the show.

The 2020 Tour of NW Big Game animals returns to Room 4 at the show with an impressive display of northwest big game trophies which will include the new Washington State record archery mule deer buck taken in 2017 by Jake Fife. Also, if you were wondering what your animal would score, bring it to the show and have it measured and see how it ranks against the other entries in the Record Book for Washington Big Game Animals. This will be the last year entries can be entered into the 5th edition. The latest edition of the Record Book for Washington’s Big Game Animals as well as the current edition of the Record Book for Oregon Big Game Animals will be available for purchase at this year’s show.
