I've been to a few of them, they are pretty much the same every time. Deals? Not a lot of them to be found, but they are there if you look. If you read "the ohio outdoor news" or "ohio fish and game" Thats the place to go to get a subscription. You get freebies for subscribing. Last time I got a couple pocket knives, hats, can coozies... There are a couple guys that sell sauces there. BBQ, HOT, Mustard... I like to pick that kind of thing up while I'm there.
I doubt I'll be going this year. If something changes and I decided to go, it will be on sunday. Not as much of a crowd, and things are marked down a little more to sell them before its over.
I would be willing to bet with, the expo and the new cabelas, Cbus will be redneckville next weekend.
