ALTOONA, BLAIR COUNTY - The 31st annual Jaffa Sports Show wrapped up Sunday, and organizers say it was their biggest years yet.

Rex Johnsonbaugh is the chairman of the show. He thinks Harrisburg canceling their show was good for this Blair County tradition.

Vendors sold everything from turkey calls and men's and women's camo to firearms, including some non-lethal versions for the kids.

And that's not all there was for the kids. There was fishing and target shooting for little ones. And they also got to meet Smoky the Bear.

Johnsonbaugh hopes next year will be even bigger. They've already about three quarters full with vendors pre-registering.
