Central Coast Sportsman’s Show
The inaugural Central Coast Sportsman’s Show is scheduled for April 12-14
at Chinook Winds Casino. This is the only event of its kind on the Oregon coast
that’s open to the public. It brings everything necessary for all of the great activities
that outdoor enthusiasts love - salmon and steelhead fishing, ATVs, personal
watercraft and boats, resorts and lodges, trail/hunting and fishing guides, fly
fishing, outfitters of all types, archery, and much, much more!
In addition to the enormous array of sporting goods, fly fishing demonstrations,
outdoor clothing, and a collection of western art will be available.
Gregory Hughes of Global Marketing Concepts is promoting the show, which
is modeled after the Portland Sportsman’s Show and includes many of the same
kinds of products. He believes the coast will be a big draw for a sportsman’s
show because it’s a destination spot oriented toward outdoor activities.
Hours are 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on April 12, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 13, and
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 14. Admission is $5 for adults, children 10 and under
admitted free.

Don Ho to Perform
Don’t miss the Tiny Bubbles of excitement floating in the air when Don Ho
brings his beautiful Hawaiian music to Chinook Winds Casino on March 15.
In 1966, Ho erupted on the national show biz scene when he broke all previous
attendance records at Hollywood’s Coconut Grove. Other star turns naturally
followed: return engagements at the Grove; feature spots at The Sands in Las
Vegas, Harrah’s at Lake Tahoe, the Palmer House in Chicago, and the Americana
Hotel’s Royal Box in New York; TV guest appearances with Johnny Carson,
Joey Bishop, and Art Linkletter; and his own hour-long TV special.
Ho made his motion picture debut in 1996 when he played Alberto Bianco in
the Warner Brothers’ film Joe's Apartment. He continues to enjoy a successful
career in personal appearances, recording, and television, where he’s made recent
appearances on The Conan O'Brien Show and Live with Regis & Kathy Lee. In
1999, he was the featured performer at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Old and young enjoy his music, including the famous Tiny Bubbles, Pearly
Shells, and other Hawaiian favorites.
Don’t miss the chance to hear this legendary performer in concert, one night
only, March 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15-$40, depending on seat location.
