Victoria vs Abbotsford Sportsman Shows

[Eyes Up Chuck]

I now live on the Island, and was wondering if the Victoria Sportsman show is anything like the one in Abbotsford at the TradeX.

Is it (Victoria) a large or small display? Are there really good deals? Lots of suppliers / lodges / exhibits?

Large to me takes two days to walk thru it. A small show would be where it would only take two - three hours to walk thru. I know, how fast do you walk thru??? Well, slow enough to see everything and share a few stories with the exhibitors.

Thanks for your input.

If you are referring to the Victoria boat show (usually in Feb.),
It's small.
Easily done in an hour or two.
there are booths set up by the likes of Oakbay marine group,Island outfitter's, DFO, and boat exhibits by Sherwood, SG power etc.
Last few years it's been at Pearkes arena.

The VIctoria show is pretty pale in comparison to the Tradex one. I have friends that travel to the Tradex from Vic and skip the local one.

Thank you, decision made.
