THIS WEEKEND! Your Outdoor Adventures Start at the 2026 NorCal Boat, Sport & RV Show!
Feathers, foragers, photography and fantastic adventures await visitors of all ages at the 40th annual Crown Motors NorCal Boat, Sport & RV Show, February 27-March 1, at the Shasta County Fairgrounds and Event Center in Anderson.
The 2026 featured attractions include the live “Wild Eagle Encounter” presentations. The new “Nature’s Provisions” highlights crafters of locally picked, processed and packaged edibles from land and sea, with the “The Great Maine Lobster Hunt” vacation prize anchoring the promotion. But that’s not the only contest to enter. Patrons can also sign up to win a guided “Maine Bear Hunt” in the backcountry of Maine wilderness. Back by popular demand, the “Parakeet Paradise Experience” returns. And the “Capture the Wild” photography contests will introduce a new category... trail cams! All this and so much more in one huge location!
The “Wild Eagle Encounter” will feature two eagles, and will be joined by a hawk, a parrot and a macaw. Guests can see a demonstration of an eagle swooping down, its talons grabbing a fish from a pool of water. This awesome presentation from the Birdman of Las Vegas is brought to you by KRCR TV and KRRX radio. The interactive Parakeet Paradise immerses adults and children in a giant bird cage to feed and enjoy the company of hundreds of budgies! This experience is sponsored by KWLZ.
The “Great Maine Lobster Hunt” contest is part of the new “Nature’s Provisions” promotion that features crafters of locally picked, processed and packaged local edibles from land and sea. Patrons can sign up for free at the shows to win the “Great Maine Lobster Hunt” in July, 2026. One lucky winner and their guest will fly from Portland, Oregon to Bangor, Maine for a 4-day coastal culinary experience. Winter Harbor’s own Captain Billy Bob Faulkingham will take the winners aboard his lobster boat for a 4-hour lobster trapping excursion and tour of the surrounding islands, followed by a traditional Maine lobster feed. The winners will also tour Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain, take the ferry to the infamous seaside town of Bar Harbor… and enjoy eating more of Maine’s mouth-watering delicacy… lobster!
The “Capture the Wild” photo contest invites outdoor photographers to submit images that reflect the landscapes, wildlife, and backcountry heritage of the Pacific Northwest. There is a new category for game cameras, too! According to curator Dan Amos, “It’s a chance for enthusiasts, weekend adventurers, and seasoned photographers to show what the wild means to them.” Entries will be displayed throughout the show in front of thousands of outdoor families, hunters, anglers, hikers, and industry professionals. Entrants will compete for cash and valuable prizes!
Patrons can also sign up to win an authentic “Maine Bear Hunt” in September 2026, courtesy of the Oregon Hunters Association and administered by the National Wild Turkey Federation at their BB Gun Range in Fusaro Hall. This is a guided 4-day backcountry black bear hunt in a remote Maine hunting camp with Sunkhaze Outfitters. Lodging, meals and airfare from Portland, Oregon to Bangor, Maine are included. Sign up for free at the Oregon Hunters Association booths at any of the five shows.
There are also prizes galore at the individual booths just waiting to be won. Sign up to win an 8’ SOTAR inflatable kayak, and a new Winch-2-Go. Every paid adult patron can sign up to receive a free one-year digital subscription to California Sportsman magazine in California, a $39.95 value.
Fan favorites will continue to impress and include the RV Extravaganza! The Big Game Room will host the 2026 Legends of the Oregon Record Book, the 2026 Tour of Northwest Big Game and the North American Taxidermy display with another amazing exhibit of award-winning taxidermy.
