Springfield, Missouri-You're up in the attic digging around and find that old collection of wooden lures you started as a kid. Maybe you are redecorating and the antique snowshoes and moose antlers don't quite go with your wife's idea of 'shabby chic.' Or, maybe, you are just one of those people that feel a special tug of memory when you see some antique piece of sporting equipment or an old fishing or hunting photo.
Suddenly, you're transported back to that special deer hunt with your dad when he gave you your first rifle; or the fishing trip with your grandfather when he handed you his favorite lure and 'forgot' to get it back; or you are, once again, on the annual family camping trip eating out of the old ice chest that held Mom's cold turkey sandwiches, Cole slaw and strawberry shortcake.
Bass Pro Shops feels the same way you do about these mementos that celebrate our nation's wonderful outdoor heritage and would like to help preserve them for our children, our children's children and all the future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
With your help, Bass Pro Shops will create a lasting historic display that honors the great outdoors. They will enshrine your artifacts, photos and treasures in America's great outdoors stores-the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World stores-and give you and your family appropriate recognition.
Currently, Bass Pro Shops is seeking quality antique fishing, hunting, camping or other outdoor sport items, any North American game mounts, or old historical fishing and hunting photos from the 1800's to the 1960's for the new store being built in Denham Springs, Louisiana. If you have any such items and would be interested in Bass Pro Shops taking a look at them, please contact Allen Morris at 417-350-5710 or email him at amorris@basspro.com .
All original photos will be returned to the owner if received by mail and if used in the store's décor, the owner will be given credit. If you choose to email the photos, please scan them in a 300 dpi and 8x10 format or you may select to place them on a disk and mail them to the attention of Allen Morris, Bass Pro Shops, 2500 E. Kearney, Springfield, MO 65898.
Give those snowshoes and moose antlers a place of honor and, at the same time; help bring a
to someone's face as they remember their own wonderful outdoors past.
