RICHMOND, VA – To celebrate 70+ years of ardent customer loyalty, Green Top is once again saying "thank you" by hosting Virginia's largest outdoor expo on October 2-3, 2021.

The Green Top Outdoor Expo, which began in 2017 as a 70th anniversary celebration for staff and loyal customers, has swiftly developed into an annual “must-attend” event for outdoor enthusiasts from across the region and historically attracts an average of 20,000+ guests over the two-day expo.

The Green Top Outdoor Expo 2021 (https://www.greentophuntfish.com/outdoor-expo/) will host more than 200 of the biggest manufacturers from the outdoor industry’s most loved brands, including Calcutta, Daniel Defense, Element Outdoors, GSM Outdoors, Pure Fishing, Realtree, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Walther, YETI, and more.
These manufacturers are sending more than 350 product specialists and factory representatives to the event, who will be meeting with guests, offering hands-on product demonstrations, seminars, and more.

"Green Top has survived and thrived over the past 70-plus years in large part due to our steadfast commitment to above-and-beyond customer service," said Blaine Altaffer, CEO of Green Top. "This annual expo is truly a celebration for our customers. It's the ultimate backstage pass for outdoors enthusiasts to meet the folks that make their favorite products and get the inside scoop on their favorite brands."

The expo will also include seminar speakers, demonstrations, and entertainment for the whole family. Daily activities for children of all ages will include interactive stations for kayaking, archery, catch and release fishing, backyard bass education, a National Wild Turkey Federation air gun range, and Ducks Unlimited waterfowl education.
