About this festival
Hunting & Fishing Expo Home
How would you like a chance at winning a guaranteed $3,000.00 for catching a tagged fish? Cash prizes will be offered during this His and Her weekend packed with exciting contests. A Fishing Derby with a guaranteed prize winning fish; a Wild Game Cook off with a top prize of $100, (one of the most delicious parts of the weekend); hunting and fishing outfitters; fly fishing demonstrations and Red River retailers showing off their great outdoor wares, good looking clothing and accessories (sure to please the ladies!) in the Conference Center and all around town.
With the backdrop of the Valle Vidal and Wheeler Peak Wilderness, this event has drawn organizational support from the New Mexico Sports Authority, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, New Mexico Game and Fish, the Wild Turkey Federation, Rio Costilla Livestock Association, Carson National Forest, Camping World, and the Fish Phone. The goal of the event is to promote what Red River is all about: hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, off-road trail riding and a host of other outdoor activities.
If you would like to enter any of the contests please contact the Red River Chamber of Commerce at 800-348-6444 x 1 or email them at [email protected].
