If you missed the Harrisburg sports show, fear not as there are two more upcoming shows, albeit on a smaller scale.

The Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow opens February 26 (and runs to Mar. 1) in Oaks, a suburb of Philadelphia.

Aside from a long list of hunting and fishing vendors, outfitters, displays of boats, ATV's and trucks, the show also hosts numerous seminars.

If you'd like a little humor with your fishing instructions, Dave Mercer, host of TV's "Facts of Fishing" and emcee for the Bassmaster Classic and Elite series, will have you laughing when he mixes humor with fishing, something he does more than 250 days a year.

For hunters, Lane Benoit, C.J. Winand and Pete Fiduccia (the Deer Dr.) will offer tips and strategies for taking big whitetails.
