WZMQ 19 is among the sponsors of the 2nd annual U.P. Ice Fishing and Hunting Expo Nov. 3-5.

Admission to the expo, which is held at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba, is free. The expo runs Friday 3-8 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

The event is presented by the Daily Press and features kids’ games and prizes, food and a large number of sports-related vendors from several states. This includes fishing and hunting retailers with the latest gear and supplies.

WZMQ 19 News will cover the event and have reports this week and Monday. Last year, the expo attracted a crowd of thousands.

The station will have a table at the event, and 19 News reporter Lily Simmons from the station’s Escanaba bureau will be on hand.
