Join us in celebrating the Silver Anniversary (25 years) of Southern Illinois Hunting and Fishing Days. It's hard to believe we've survived that long. We must be doing something right. Maybe it's the FREE admission and FREE parking. Maybe it's the 200 plus vendors that crowd onto our campus that weekend or maybe it's the 30,000 plus sportsmen that show up every year. Whatever it is, you've simply got to be a part of it.
