*****IMPORTANT INFORMATION*****
All anglers are due back to the Outdoor Experience Festival by 4PM.
BE SURE TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE FESTIVAL/PARK GROUNDS. The festival is fairly large and crowded, so make sure you know where you are going PRIOR to the event Saturday. We will make several posts on FACEBOOK where to park and where our booth is located. Generally, theft is not an issue, but be aware this is a festival setting with several thousands of people attending throughout the weekend. Once you park your vehicles (and trailers in some cases) it would be a good idea to secure any rods, reels, tackle, and kayak gear. If you are not sure about location, parking, etc do not hesitate to post your question on the Buckeye Nation Kayak Anglers facebook group page.

This event is being held during the Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience. The festival features several activities, outdoor booths, craft beers, and much more. Several people have their family and friends meet them at the measure-in and explore the festival afterwards. Every year the anglers walk away impressed with how big a festival it is and how cool some of the vendors/activities are.
Camping/Meet & Greet
The Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience will offer FREE CAMPING!!!!!
To take advantage of the entire festival experience you will want to camp the whole weekend and invite the family and friends down (even if they aren't anglers). There is plenty to do/watch if they love the outdoors.
Often times large groups of anglers will camp Friday night before the event as well as through the weekend.
The measure-in is also a good oppurtunity to meet & greet fellow kayak anglers of all skill levels and talk about our mutual love of kayak fishing.
Be sure to join the Buckeye Nation Kayak Anglers group on Facebook to see what anglers are planning for each event.
