SHARE Show season winding down: Fish & Hook to Ultimate Sports Show

The local show of note is the Fish & Hook Sports Show on Saturday; the last big show around the broader area is the Ultimate Sports Show in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Both of these shows tend to be on this weekend and it is a weekend I am always gone on a trip, so I have never been to the Fish & Hook show, but hear many good things about it. I am always in Michigan this weekend and have been often tempted to poke my head in at the Ultimate Sports Show, but have not yet.
