Dealers from all over the world traveled to the fully booked Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania, from February 25 to 27, for the 2022 Kinsey’s Dealer Show. While there, dealers met with more than 250 archery and firearms vendors. (Click here for a full list of vendors that attended KDS22.)
Dealers ranged from first time Show attendees to those who have been doing business with Kinsey’s for nearly 60 years. Unlike the Kinsey’s 2021 Virtual Dealers Show, this year attendees could meet with company sales reps face to face, and pick up and check out the latest products and innovation the outdoor industry had to offer.
One highlight of the weekend was the dealer appreciation night on February 26. Dealers were treated to a buffet-style dinner, giveaways from event sponsors, then a performance from country recording artist Jameson Rodgers.
The Show culminated on February 27 with grand prize giveaways. The following dealers walked away from KDS with to $4,000 in grand prize giveaways:
- $4,000 Hunt – G&S Wild Country Outfitters
- $1,000 Credit – Bulldog Hydrographics & Firearms
- TenPoint Vengent Crossbow – Sweetwater Archery
Kinsey’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing Justin Gorman said, “It was great to return to the live show this year. We believe we have created a unique and industry leading trade show. Thank you for everyone who supported the show, both vendors and dealers, we look forward to next year!”
Kinsey’s also expressed thanks to this year’s Show sponsors, which included FeraDyne, Easton, Vista Outdoor, LimbSaver and TenPoint.
