Bass Pro Shops in Cary is kicking off the first weekend of the Fall Hunting Classic with an educational meet-and-greet event featuring Eva Shockey, followed by a free outdoor cookout.

The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s ambassador and owner of Eva & Co. will be available for a meet and greet, free tips and seminars to help hunters make the most of their time outside in the fall and winter ahead. Educational discussions with Shockey will range in topics from selecting gear for the hunt to executing new techniques in the deer stand and beyond.

After the meet and greet, Bass Pro Shops will host a free outdoor cookout. Hot dogs and refreshments will be available to guests free of charge while supplies last.
