Now that the dust has settled, we just want to say thank you.

Our second year of the Western Kentucky Outdoor Expo was busy, loud, exciting, and honestly… better than we ever imagined. It truly feels like this event is getting bigger and better every year, and that’s because of the people behind it. We’re beyond grateful for every single person who showed up to check it out, support it, and be part of what we’re building.

To our amazing vendors — thank you for bringing the energy, the products, and the passion all weekend long.

To everyone who came through the doors — thank you for showing up, shopping local, asking questions, and making the expo feel alive.

A huge shoutout to our sponsors Root's RV & Sales Inc. and Owensboro Racing and Gaming — we truly couldn’t do this without you.

And to our friends at Visit Owensboro and the Convention Center — thank you for being phenomenal partners and helping make this event possible.

This weekend reminded us exactly why we do this, and we couldn’t be happier with how year two turned out.

Until the next adventure,

Brooklyn Johnson and Heather Terry

Now… stay tuned 👀
2027 details coming soon.

We tried to go head-to-head with the Big Game and decided to wave the white flag 😅🏈
We’re letting our amazing vendors head out a little early and closing up shop for today.

We appreciate y’all more than you know — and we can’t wait to do it all again next year! 🙌🎣🌲
