NWTF Announces Vortex® as Longbeard Sponsor for Upcoming Convention and Sport Show in Nashville

EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The National Wild Turkey Federation announces Vortex® as a Longbeard Sponsor for the Convention and Sport Show, set for Feb. 15-19 in Nashville, Tennessee. This year’s festivities mark 50 years of mission delivery for the NWTF.

“A half-century of conservation is a big deal, not only for wildlife, but for anyone who likes to spend as much time in the outdoors as possible,” said Vortex® CEO Joe Hamilton. “Vortex® is proud to support NWTF and its mission, and we look forward to hanging out with the thousands of like-minded hunters and shooters who travel to Nashville this year for the convention.”

Vortex®, an American-owned optics manufacturer known for its VIP Warranty, will sponsor the convention’s raffles, auctions and Product Showcase for a second straight year. They will also occupy booth 2046 in the exhibit hall.

“We are grateful for the continued support of Vortex® as a sponsor and exhibitor in the Sport Show,” said Natalia Daniels, NWTF national director of corporate relations and licensing. “Stop by their booth and let them outfit you with the perfect optics for turkey season.”

The first event of the NWTF Convention and Sport Show, officially sponsored by Mossy Oak, is the Pub Crawl set for the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 15.

Convention festivities officially open on Thursday, Feb. 16 with the rendezvous sessions, the evening’s Kickoff Party and the opening of the Sport Show floor, which features more than 450 of the best exhibitors in the outdoor industry. The NWTF Sport Show runs from Thursday to Saturday in the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. Convention activities conclude with a worship service on Sunday, Feb. 19.
