The Game Commission this week announced the Sixth Annual Elk Expo will be held September 22 and 23 at the Elk County Fair Grounds in Kersey.

The 6th Annual Elk Expo - in the heart of Pennsylvania's Wilds - promises something for everyone. Northwest Pennsylvania Great Outdoors will again sponsor the two-day festival all about elk and enjoying the great outdoors.

The event will feature demonstrations and presentations, contests and exhibitions, plus sports activities, elk watching shuttle buses, arts and crafts booths, food booths, educational displays, wildlife calling contests, and a marketplace with the latest outdoors equipment and clothing.

At 5 p.m. on September 23, the Game Commission will conduct a computerized drawing of the names of hunters who will participate in the state's elk hunt in November 6-11, 2006, and September 17-22, 2007. The Game Commission also plans to have a booth at the Expo.
