Dr. Guy Harvey To Attend Bass Pro Shops’ Global Fishing Event
March 22, 2022 (Miami, Fla.) - Bass Pro Shop National Headquarters, located in Springfield, Missouri, is gearing up to host the “world’s greatest fishing show” to showcase the best in fishing, boating, conservation and the great outdoors. The World’s Fishing Fair is scheduled for March 30 - April 3, 2022. Half of all of the proceeds from the fair’s event admissions will be donated to support conservation.
Dr. Guy Harvey, wildlife artist, ardent conservationist and purveyor of quality lifestyle and performance apparel will be on hand to meet and greet guests attending the show on April 1 and April 2, 2022.
“We are excited to participate in this 50th anniversary celebration of Bass Pro Shops,” said Dr. Guy Harvey. “The added bonus is that a portion of the proceeds from the event will go to conservation efforts, which is of great importance to our brand.”
Select Bass Pro Shops carry the Guy Harvey line of products. For the Fair, there will be a mix of men's, women's and children's apparel with some performance tops. Additionally, there will be some of the traditional T-shirts featuring both fresh and saltwater fish.
To contribute further to this worthwhile event, Dr. Harvey will donate an original painting to benefit the Johnny Morris Conservation Charity. Additionally, event T-shirts featuring original art created by Dr. Guy Harvey for Johnny Morris will also be available at the event.
In 1988, Bass Pro Shops hosted the inaugural World’s Fishing Fair. This will be just the second such event hosted by the company but promises to be the “largest event in the history of angling.” In addition to the more than 500,000 square feet of retail offerings, the five-day event will afford guests the opportunity to attend fishing seminars, to win $250,000 in prizes and to see a concert lineup featuring country music superstars like Hank Williams, Jr., Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley.
“I was fortunate enough to be the featured artist at that event back in 1988,” Dr. Harvey said. “I’m excited to be a part of this Bass Pro Shops' tradition.”
