St. Cloud Sportsmen’s Show Returns Next Week with Boats, Bargains, and Family Fun

(KNSI) – The countdown is on as the 38th annual St. Cloud Sportsmen’s Show prepares to open its doors next week.

Show organizer Barry Cenaiko says the three-day event will offer something for everyone, from boating enthusiasts to those dreaming of exotic vacations, including an African safari.

The show will feature a wide selection of boats with inventory ranging from pontoons to fishing boats. Cenaiko told KNSI attendees will find genuine bargains. “You really do get boat show pricing. They are here. They’re priced to move. They might have some holdovers, some brand new 2025s that they’re looking to get sold.”

There’s also a range of campers and dock dealers for those looking to complete their waterfront setup.

Cenaiko believes a cornerstone of the event is family-friendly entertainment. That’s why this year marks the return of a water skiing squirrel, and the always popular live trout fishing. “Twiggy is always a favorite. The kids absolutely love it. It’s a great story, very entertaining. And of course, live trout fishing, we’re very happy to have those beautiful rainbow trout. And you bring them home and you cook them.”

The seminar lineup will feature fishing expert Joe Henry discussing walleye fishing techniques throughout the weekend, along with Nick Linder, who represents a new generation of the well-known Linder fishing family.

Admission is $10 at the door. The show runs February 6th through the 8th at the Rivers Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud.
