"We've got seminars just about every hour on subjects like ice safety, ice fishing for walleye, how to feel the bite. Every day, we have a panel of pro fishermen doing a Q-and-A session. People can ask the experts about whatever they're interested in. Also, we probably have more wheelhouses on ­exhibit than any other expo in the country, because we have a huge amount of outdoor space. We'll have over 30 wheelhouses parked outside the Expo Center. People can walk through them — some of them are as nice as cabins."

Barclay Kruse, chief communications officer for the National Sports Center in Blaine, on the Hard Water Ice Fishing Expo, today through Sunday at the center. More information: www.nscoutdoors.org.
