Exhibition news: Paddlesport 2006, the East Coast's largest kayak, canoe and outdoor consumer expo presented by The Jersey Paddler will be held March 24-26, 2006 at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, NJ. Over 100 exhibitors will gather together under the same roof to present new products at great prices and share their passion for paddlesports. Exhibitors include leading manufacturers of canoes, kayaks, accessories and sportswear; paddling clubs, professional instructors and outfitters. Free seminars, lectures and a movie screening will be given throughout the weekend. "Paddlesport is a great venue for paddling enthusiasts to find the latest paddlesports products at special show prices before the season starts," said John Durrua, President, The Jersey Paddler. "This show is more than a one-stop shop. It is an experience where paddlers of all levels can meet with professionals, talk to associations, learn great places to paddle, and get together to share their own stories." Paddlesport started 45 years ago when local canoe clubs decided to find a cure for winter cabin fever by gathering local retailers and manufacturers at a local gymnasium and pool. The show kept growing, and was turned over to The Jersey Paddler in 1981. Since 1998, Paddlesport has been held at the Garden State Exhibit Center, a 70,000 square foot facility making it the largest show on the East Coast. This year's highlights include the screening of a movie from the 2006 National Paddling Film Festival, a slide show by renowned paddlers and photographers Gary and Joanie McGuffin, and the presentation of the "Northern Forest Canoe Trail" by industry legends Rob Center and Kay Henry to name a few. Paddlesport 2006 will be held at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, NJ on Friday, March 24 (Noon to 9 pm), Saturday, March 25 (9 am to 6 pm) and Sunday, March 26 (9 am to 4:30 pm). The admission is $10 per adult and free for children 14 years old and under |
