PFBC To Host Virtual Outdoor Expo February 8-12

HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) invites the public to participate in a virtual outdoor expo scheduled for February 8-12, 2021.

This virtual event will be hosted on the PFBC Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/PaFishandBoat), featuring agency experts conducting several informational sessions about fishing and boating topics.

“In the absence of many of the popular outdoor shows and expos that that have been cancelled across the state this winter, Fish and Boat Commission staff will be missing out on some great opportunities to interact with the public and let them know about our programs,” said Mike Parker, PFBC Director of Communications. “By offering these virtual sessions with some of our most knowledgeable staff and educators, we hope to fill a void for people who have an interest in certain areas of fishing and boating, and provide them with the chance to ask a question or two.”

To provide interactivity between PFBC experts and the public during many of the sessions, questions that are relevant to the various topics may be submitted in advance to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Emails should include “Virtual Outdoor Expo” in the subject line with the question or comment contained in the body of the message. Some sessions will be streamed live and provide an opportunity for viewers to offer relevant questions and comments through the PFBC Facebook page that may be incorporated into the discussion in real time. All comments submitted must be in compliance with the PFBC’s social media policy.
