About Georgia Sportsmen Events, LLC (GSE)
The GSE was founded in early 2005 in Baxley, Appling County Georgia. Founders Stephen Hale, Trampis Carter, and Tommy Banks have been involved in hunting & fishing awareness activities and events in the South Georgia area for several years. We saw the need to preserve and promote outdoor activities for future generations in Georgia.
This led us to create the Sportsmen’s Trade Show, a 2 day event held in Baxley, GA on an annual basis. The show consists of outdoor products dealers who show & sell at the show. There are also turkey calling demonstrations, fishing & boat simulators, and all kinds of activities for kids and adults. The show has an annual attendance of 5 to 10,000 people every year. The monies made from this event are distributed back to the area through several ways. The following being some of them.
GSE created an award called the Sportsman of the Year. This is a humanitarian award aimed toward persons or groups that are making a difference for area youth and outdoor sports. Every year someone from the area is nominated and chosen to receive this award. The award consists of a plaque and a check for their effort.
GSE sponsors and donates to area clubs and events such as kids fishing rodeos, youth hunts, skeet shoots, Cub/Boy Scouts of America, NRA, 4-H Club and many more.
GSE is making a difference for future generations! We appreciate our sponsors and the support from the communities we serve.
Sincerely,
