You have to travel a bit for the key shows, including one of the last 10-day shows, in the seventh week of show season around Chicago outdoors.
![]()
One of the last great 10-day shows is in Indianapolis, where the Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show is at the Indiana State Fairgrounds from Friday through Feb. 24.
I have meant to check this show out for years, but it conflicts with some bowling coverage I do for the Sun-Times.
The Deer, Turkey and Waterfowl Expo is fitted into the bigger show from Friday through Sunday.
****
The Milwaukee Muskie Expo is Friday through Sunday at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis.
****
The Our World-Underwater is Friday through Sunday at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. There's another show I would love to visit, but haven't yet.
****
The Chicago RV & Camping Show continues through Sunday at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.
