2023 Ticket Sales

Exhibitor FAQ's

A :   Your space application is your request for booth space in the show – it is not a signed agreement. Applications are evaluated by our sales staff, and once it has been determined that your product/services best fit the show, we will extend an invitation and you will be sent a lease agreement.

A :   Glad to have you in the show! You may either send a check or you can pay with a credit card. PLEASE NOTE: ALL FUNDS are to be in US DOLLARS, and if you are paying with a credit card and we are unable to swipe your card, there is a 3% processing fee.

A :   Yes – all exhibits must be staffed during all hours open to the public (SEE LEASE AGREEMENT – you are contractually obligated to staff your booth at all times). REMEMBER, show attendees have purchased tickets with the expectation that you will be there to answer questions. If your booth isn’t staffed, you are missing the opportunity for potential business.

A :   The number of exhibitor credentials you receive is calculated based on booth space. If the amount you receive isn’t enough for your purposes, you may purchase additional multi or single day credentials for those working your booth. Our Exhibitor Guide explains the amount provided based on booth space, and you can find that information by following this link and clicking on the “Exhibitor Guide” button –  https://renfroproductions.com/boat-rv-travel/exhibitor-resources/

A :   At the time of check-in, exhibitors for the Boat, Sport & Travel Show can pick up packets (which include credentials, parking passes and any additional information that pertains to your company) at the Champions Pavilion Show desk. We do not mail exhibitor credentials.

A :   We no longer have names on our credentials, so there is no need to provide a list of names of those who will be staffing your booth(s).

A :   There is specific, designated parking for trailers. Empty and stock trailers have different parking area designations. The Show staff will tell you where those areas are when you check-in. It is free to park your trailer on grounds.

A :   Each exhibitor will receive an allotted number of parking passes. The Fairgrounds give our show a set amount of passes to be distributed. Those who have the pass do not have to pay for parking – but if you have multiple workers, those that do not have a parking pass will have to pay the Fairgrounds fee to park. There are no additional parking passes to purchase. Check with Show Office staff once all exhibitors have checked in – there may be additional passes from exhibitors that didn’t need all that were allotted to them.

A :   Setup hours are based on the location of your booth. The Exhibitor Resource Guide has exact times/days for each building. Follow this link and click on the “Exhibitor Guide” button  https://renfroproductions.com/existing-exhibitors/

A :   Yes. As part of your agreement, we provide each booth with one 500 watt outlet per 10’ of booth space at no extra charge to you. If you need additional amperage, you can contact the fairgrounds electrician, Ermco, to discuss your needs. The following link takes you to the exhibitor resources page on our website – just click on the “Electricity” button.   https://renfroproductions.com/existing-exhibitors/

A :   Wifi is available and you can contract with Ermco, the Fairgrounds Electrician, to gain access during the show. Click on the “Internet” button.   https://renfroproductions.com/existing-exhibitors/

A :   There is one “will call” area for the Indianapolis Boat, Sport & Travel Show, in the Champions Pavilion Show office, which is located inside the double door entrance on the north side of the Champions Pavilion. IMPORTANT: NO BOX OFFICES OR DOOR STAFF SERVE AS “WILL CALL” – guest passes and extra worker credentials cannot be left at box offices or with door staff.

A :   Absolutely! Each year we have several hotels in which there are block rates for our exhibitors and out of town guests who are planning to visit the show for more than one day. You can find the hotel information by following this link  https://renfroproductions.com/existing-exhibitors/  and click on the Hotel & Camping Info button.

A :   There are RV accommodations on the State Fairgrounds! You can find the pricing and procedures to secure your camp site by following this link  https://renfroproductions.com/existing-exhibitors/  

A: NEW REGULATIONS BEGINNING 2019: Exhibitors are not permitted to bring pets or live animals into the Show, with the exception of certified service animals, which wear the appropriate service vest. All service animals permitted into the Show are to be kept within the confines of the exhibitor’s booth.

At the time each year when winter begins to ease its icy grip, the largest outdoor show of its kind rolls into the Indiana State Fairgrounds to rescue hundreds of thousands of casual-to-hardcore outdoor enthusiasts from the throes of cabin fever. To these folks, no other event is more welcomed. Nothing else stacks up to the Ford Indianapolis Boat, Sport & Travel Show. Nothing. There are no substitutes. The attraction comes from over 700,000 square-feet of pure, outdoor goodness in six super-sized buildings. Acres of boats, RV's, fishing tackle and hunting gear, outdoor destinations, paddle sports equipment, educational seminars, outdoor celebrities and unique and entertaining attractions combine to form a veritable outdoor supernova, which cannot be fully experienced in a single visit. We're talking about more than great deals on boats, RV's and outdoor gear here. We're talking about silly deals on fishing lures you just can't find anywhere else - and uncanny bargains on vacations to outdoor destinations approved by the entire family. The Ford Indianapolis Boat, Sport & Travel Show enjoys a history of more than 67 years and owes its success to a simple formula: offering show-goers a healthy dose of exciting, new features and attractions each year while retaining the very best of the past – all wrapped up in the largest and most-exciting outdoor event of its kind to be found anywhere. Bring your family. Come back with your buddies. We’ll see you at the show! February 17-19 & 22-26, 2023 - CLOSED MONDAY & TUESDAY

Renfro Report

The Ford 67th Annual Indianapolis Boat, Sport & Travel Show returns to the Indiana State Fairgrounds February 18-20 and 23-27, 2022 with a new 8-day format.

Long recognized as the largest and best consumer sports and recreation show in America, the Ford 67th Annual Boat, Sport, and Travel Show comes along at a perfect time.

“There’s no better time for a sports show,” said Kevin Renfro, President of Renfro Productions, Inc. “And the Ford 67th Annual Boat, Sport, and Travel Show remains the very best place to meet with the best dealers and retailers in the region, face to face under one roof, so you can see, touch and compare.”

For those looking to purchase a new boat, camper, motor home, or other recreational item, the Ford 67th Annual Boat, Sport, and Travel Show is the opportunity to get exactly what you want in the shortest amount of time.

“It’s important to note that attendees will find a large selection of boats and recreational vehicles for purchase at the show,” Renfro said. “You can get your order in for a new boat, RV, or powersports ahead of others and hit the water, road, or trail just as soon as possible. The timing of the 2022 show is perfect for the outdoors enthusiast!”

Of course, the Ford 67th Annual Boat, Sport, and Travel Show is much more than the largest selection of boats and RVs in the nation under one roof. There’s fun features for everyone in the family, and you can also plan your next vacation with reps from over 22 states and several foreign countries and learn from some of the best outdoor fishing and hunting experts in the nation.

And while the show is moving to a new 8-day format, what’s not changing is the inclusion of the 24th Annual Indiana Deer, Turkey, & Waterfowl Expo the final four days.

Current features at the overall Ford 67th Annual Indianapolis Boat, Sport, and Travel Show include the return of the wildly-popular Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel, Kids’ Trout Fishing, Kayak Fishing Showcase, K9 X Games Presented by K9 U, 811 Fishing Seminar Series which includes Mark Menendez, Wally Marshall, Joe Thomas, Russ Bailey, Ed Stachowski, Bill Lowen, Violet Talley, Mike Del Visco and Kid’s Fishing Seminars by Dan Armitage. Attendees can also explore Tackletown USA and the popular Travel & Tourism Pavilion.

The 24th Annual Indiana Deer, Turkey & Waterfowl Expo will run Feb. 24-27 at the Fairgrounds.

Current features include: Hoosier Record Book Trophy Deer Display by Indiana Deer Hunters Association with deer scoring  each day, Big Tine Hunting Seminar Series with Curt Geier of Working Class Bowhunter, , C.J. Winand, deer biologist and writer for Bowhunter Magazine, Clint Casper, Bill Epeards of Epeards Outdoor Adventures, Field Hudnall of Field Proven Calls, Jeff Foiles of Foiles Rok Outdoors, Morel Mushroom Hunting Seminars by Tom Nauman of Morel Mania, gun dog demos, Archery Alley, shooting in the Manufacturers Archery Demo Lanes,  Waterfowl Flyway, the best collection of waterfowlers and gear in the region, the Hunters Education display, free Youth Archery Range provided by Indiana Bow Hunter’s Assn., and outfitters from around the globe.

Indiana interstates will likely be packed on eclipse day. How to prepare and what to expect

W ith the total solar eclipse approaching and Indiana being prime real estate for sky-watching, police are anticipating packed roads and heavy traffic conditions.  

“We've likened it to having the Indy 500 in the Evansville area, Bloomington area, here in Indy and then in the northeast,” said Capt. Ron Galaviz of Indiana State Police. 

State Police anticipate traffic will snarl before, during and after the event, which will occur April 8. Galaviz said the police agency will have “all hands on deck” when it comes to staffing troopers on the state’s highway and particularly its interstate system.

At the same time, motorists are asked to prepare ahead of time for traffic jams as thousands descend into the state. Filling up vehicles with gas ahead of time is advised as well as having food and water supplies in anticipation of long waits.

"Exercise patience," Galaviz said.

Police: Don't stop on the interstate to watch the eclipse

During the event, state police are also urging drivers not to stop, park, or watch the solar activity on the interstates.

“In Indiana, it’s against the law to stop, stand or park along the side of the interstate. Let alone, on the interstate itself in one of the lanes of travel,” Galaviz said.  

How to avoid traffic during the eclipse

To gauge road congestion during and after the eclipse, drivers can visit 511in.org which shares the latest traffic patterns across the state and possibly find alternative routes.
