02/01 — Showtime

I’ve called the Tinley Park Fishing and Outdoor Show the best little show. Producer Rich Komar has had fun with that. Actually, it’s one of the most visited shows around Chicago outdoors and grows toward being the best.

The Tinley show (tinleyparkfishing
show.com), which runs Feb. 11-12 at
Tinley Park High School, will feature Illinois fisheries chief Debbie Bruce at
1 p.m. Feb. 11 and Illinois Department of Natural Resources director Marc Miller at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 11.

I have six pairs of tickets for those who can come up with the best
questions for Bruce or Miller by 5 a.m. Friday. If the questions don’t get asked,
I will ask them.

Send questions to me on Facebook or Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or e-mail straycasts@sbcglobal.net.
