Vendors from around the country come to show & sell anything and everything working and hunting dog related: hunting gear, dog gear, archery supplies, taxidermists, hog dogs, traps, apparel, and much, much more. There is something for the entire family. Some of the vendors will be missions oriented and share their outreach ministries.
 The Lone Star Bowhunters Association will have their youth archery range set up. In conjunction with the expo, Texas Dog Hunter's Association hold their annual "Hunt for the Hungry" contest.
