My heartfelt thanks to all board of advisors, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, attendees and contractors of America's Outdoor Show. I regret to inform you that I will not be producing a 2012 show. While I had an unforgettable time revitalizing the largest and longest running sportshow in Chicagoland... it's not show friends... it's show business. While my financial return over the last two years has been substandard, the positive memories have exceeded expectations by far! Two final requests: Support the All Canada, the Chicago Boat Show, and the Chicago Muskie Show with your patronage;

and Be wary of any individuals/companies that claim to have been associated with America's Outdoor Show who solicit your business in any way. I have not, nor will not distribute your information to any third party. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to have worked with you. My wife, daughter and I wish you and your families good health and continued success in all your endeavors!

Thanks for the Memories,

Jim Sugarman,
sole owner America's Outdoor Show
