The Norwegian expression “Den beste tiden å fiske er når du kan” translates to “The best time to go fishing is whenever you can.” The Scandinavians have got that right, and it’s a sentiment we fully pursue in the June 2024 issue of The Maine Sportsman magazine.

Heads up about scammers as we count down the days to the 42nd annual State of Maine Sportsman's Show!

To all Vendors and Followers

If you are a Vendor, and create a Facebook Event for your page regarding this show, or any show or expo you may be attending, be cautious of scammers that post on your Event. They pose as event organizers, and claim to have open spots for Vendors. When you respond seeking a spot, they take your money and run, and you will lose your money, and will have no spot in that Event. The State of Maine Sportsman's Show will not post on your Event listing seeking Vendors, so if you see these on your Event listing, please remove and block the profile so others do not get scammed out of their hard earned money.

Also, if you are a show patron, do not respond on these Event listings, to those claiming to be selling advanced tickets. This is also a scam. The only place to purchase tickets for this show is at the door, scammers are coming up with many new ways to rob you. Be cautious, if ever in doubt, back out, and contact the Event organizers directly.

Thank you, and see you at the show!
