Get Into the Great Outdoors at the 40th annual Game Fair held August 13, 14, 15 & 20, 21, 22 (2021)

It’s time to celebrate the great outdoors once again at the 40th annual Game Fair with a multitude of fun events, outdoors exhibitors, dogs of all shapes and sizes, along with plenty of delicious fair food. The six greatest days of summer takes place over two weekends on the spacious grounds of the Armstrong Ranch Kennels in Ramsey beginning August 13, 14, and 15 and continuing August 20, 21 and 22. Game Fair is the best location to see, try and buy the latest gear for the fall hunting seasions and learn from the nation’s leading experts.

There’s lots to see at Game Fair and there’s lots to do! This is a full participation event and visitors are encouraged to bring their shotgun (cased), their bow (cased), and their dog (leashed). There are events for adults, children, and dogs of all ages and abilities—including twice daily shotgun shooting exhibitions, dog events, archery, birds of prey, and dozens of daily seminars from national outdoors experts. Each year nearly 300 exhibitors, including dog trainers, hunting guides and retailers, come to Game Fair from across North America. We are also the nation’s largest gathering of Dog Clubs and Outdoor’s Clubs so you can meet and connect with others who share your outdoor passions.

Chuck and Loral I Delaney have hosted Game Fair every year at the Armstrong Ranch Kennels since the first one in 1982. Known as America’s Original Game Fair, the Delaney’s were first inspired to begin the tradition in the United States after a visit to England’s Game Fair in 1980. The event grows bigger and better each year, attracting millions in the process. Game Fair has been the launching point for many new products, personalities, and experts—it’s truly the place to be for outdoors lovers of all ages.

Game Fair is the only place where you can do it all. Highlights of the 2019 Game Fair include:
