North Central Florida Media radio stations 93.7 K-Country and 92.5/95.5 Wind-FM hosted the 4th Annual North Central Florida Outdoor Expo on Saturday August 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala!

7,000 adventure-seekers (and their children!) attended the indoor expo for outdoor lovers. The event featured more than 140 vendors sharing ways to explore and celebrate what the outdoors has to offer in North Central Florida.

Vendors displayed RV’s, boats, guns, apparel, landscaping products, and more. Hands-on activities included ax throwing, target practice, casting, knot tying and archery for the kids. The first 100 attendees received gifts from Crystal River Kayak and Dive Center and HNR Gunworks.

Parking was free for attendees and admission was $5 for adults 18 and over. A portion of the admission proceeds went to charity partner 10 CAN Inc. to help veterans and first responders fight PTSD through outdoor activities.
