Want to schedule a hunting expedition in Africa? Is it time to turn your latest grizzly bear kill into a luxurious living-room rug? How about joining the International Federation of Black Bass Anglers? You can do all of this at the
KC Boat & Sportshow at Bartle Hall (301 West 13th Street). For the more casual outdoor types, there are DockDogs competitions, outdoor cooking demos, a catch-and-release fishing pond for kids, a 5,000-gallon aquarium full of native fish, and possibly the most awesome thing ever: a free scuba-diving session for anyone 10 and older. Tickets cost $10 for adults, and those 15 and younger get in free. The four-day event ends today, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. See a full schedule and exhibitor list at
