Second Annual Swap Meet Renamed and Scheduled

The 2nd annual Des Moines Izaak Walton League Fishing, Hunting, Outdoor Sports, Boating and Gun Show, (formerly called Swap Meet), has been scheduled for January 26 and 27, 2008. The show will feature fishing and hunting gear of all kinds; boats, guns, fishing and hunting resorts, archery equipment, wildlife art and outdoor furniture.

This will be a great family event with laser guns to test your shooting skills, hunting and fishing raffle items, 2008 hunting & fishing licenses for sale, and DNR seminars, plus archery clinics, for the kids, with Outdoors Dan. We will also have food and refreshments for sale.

Show hours are: Saturday 9 am to 5 pm, Sunday 9 am to 3 pm. (Be sure to bring your knives for sharpening)
Admission fees: Adults $3 and ages 12 and under free.


There are still some exhibit spaces available at $30/table for Ike members and $40 for non-members. For more information or to reserve exhibit space please contact Sonny Satre at 515-480-1728 or email to “sonnysatre@mchsi.com”


Rifles and shotguns needed

The Ikes will have a table at the show to sell rifles and shotguns for any member wanting to get rid of one they don’t use anymore. We will try to sell your firearm at the price you request. We have experts who can help you with setting a price, if needed. If interested, contact Wimpy Stifel at 515-226-9558 or Sonny Satre at 515-480-1728. (Fed regulations don’t allow us to sell handguns)
