Annual Elk Expo
Just before the popular elk rut gets into full swing, the Keystone Elk Country Alliance and Elk Country Visitor Center host the largest elk celebration in the northeast. The annual Elk Expo is held on the grounds of the Elk Country Vistor Center in Benezette every August. The Expo will feature exhibits, seminars, antler scoring experts, a presentation by Pennsylvania Game Commission Elk Biologist Jeremy Banfield, calling contests, and more than 100 vendors. There will be great entertainment, food, souvenirs, and a good time for the whole family. Other featured programing includes the Pennsylvania Game Commission elk tag drawing, Keystone Elk Country Alliance bull tag raffle, live music, and more.
Entrance to the Elk Expo and parking is free, however, there is a $5 fee to cover the expense of the shuttle service. The shuttle will transport you from the parking areas to the Expo. The last shuttle back to the parking lots is Saturday 7:00pm and Sunday 4:00pm.
For the safety of the wildlife and your pet, there are absolutely no pets allowed on Elk Country Visitor Center property.
There's so much to list - please check out their website for all the information about this weekend!
