➸ Missouri Department of Conservation – The Missouri Department of Conservation will have several offerings at the Bethel Wildlife and Outdoor Expo. Kids will enjoy participating in Bass in the Backyard as they learn to improve their fishing and casting skills. Visitors can stop by the booth and learn about native snakes, the diversity of insects in Missouri, and hunting and fishing opportunities in the area. There will also be a presentation available for those interested in learning more about our natural resources.
.
Hunting and other outdoor activities are very popular in this part of the country. It is our hope that this expo would offer something for the entire family. We want to offer interesting things to see, education on a variety of outdoor topics, and entertainment for everyone attending. If you are interested in being an exhibitor, vendor, or donating for the prize drawings, contact Larry Smoot at 660-651-0259 or lsmoot@marktwain.net.
