Outdoors USA | Bring On The Marching Bands

With School just about finished for the year in most areas, kids are gearing up for marching band season.  Many high school and middle school kids spend their summers at band camp and competing at various band competitions.  I remember as a kid the endless supply of students coming to the local college for band camp.  From 8am until late into the evening you would constantly hear them playing and practicing.  Do your kids go to band camp?  Why send them to camp with an expensive new instrument when you can buy a cheap used musical instrument for them to take.  Knowing they wont destroy their primary instrument that would cost hundreds or thousands to replace should give you some peace of mind.

Outdoors USA | Little League Season Is Here

Spring time not only brings tulips, blossoming fruit trees and green grass, it also means little league season is here.  Little league season for those parents who have kids involved can be a frustrating time.  There’s the headache of getting kid to practice, making time to get off work for the games and the all too familar fund raisers.  Parents looking to ease some of the cost burdens associated with little leage baseball should consider purchasing little league bats and other little league equpiment from online auctions.  Online auctions can provide quality new and used little league equipment at greatly reduced prices compared to local sporting goods shops.

OUtdoors USA | Dust Off The Clubs Spring Is Here.

Just renewed my golf membership and cant wait to hit the course.  I went out and grabbed a bunch of used golf balls and hit the field next to the house for some driving practice.  Wow am I rusty.  Our course is still awful wet after all the rain we’ve had lately.  Half the holes are still underwater and the greens are in real poor condition.  Hopefully it will dry up in the next week or so and they can get out there and do some work on the golf course

Outdoors USA | Family Vacation In The Mountains

Have you ever visited the Great Smoky National Park? In My opinion it is one of the best places in the world. It doesn’t matter which side of the mountains you visit, both the Tennessee and North Carolina sides are beautiful.  Waking up in a smoky mountain cabin overlooking the cities in the valley below is just something everyone should see. This is truly a place that God took extra time and care in creating.  I encourage everyone to plan a visit to one of America’s prettiest locations.  There is plenty for everyone to do.  Camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and just a few of the many activities in and around the Smoky National Park

Outdoors USA | More Spring Clean-up

Outdoors USAwants to remind everyone that while you doing your spring house cleaning and garage cleanup not to just throw everything away.  With gas prices going though the roof and the economy in tough shape, why not make extra income selling on ebay.  You always read about people making good money from their junk.  You might as well cash in on this as well.  That old used fishing rod, tackle box or trolling motor will be in high demand this time of year.  Take the opportunity to make more money from your junk by selling through eBay or holding a garage sale.  Neighborhood organizations often plan on area wide garage sales this time of year.  Make sure to check and see if you can get in the listing.  If you don’t think you can make extra money from selling your junk, just check out a few items on eBay and you might be surprised.
