Tents are in the midst of being raised as tickets go on sale for Bass Pro Shops World's Fishing Fair.
To celebrate Bass Pro Shops 50th year, the World's Fishing Fair will include live music, fishing seminars, bargains and opportunities to meet fishing professionals and more March 30-April 3 in Springfield.
Lee Beasley, senior market general manager, said this year's fair has been in the planning stages for a while, but it's amazing to see its return since it was held in 1988.
"It's fun to explain the big party that we're fixing to have," Beasley said.
