RICHMOND, Va. – Due to the incredible demand for access to the FLW Tour World Championship of Bass Fishing and Outdoor Show taking place this week at the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Va., doors will open to the public at 11 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday.

Doors had originally been scheduled to open at 1 p.m. The change has been made in order to accommodate the high volume of traffic expected for Saturday, based on the number of people that have been visiting the site thus far this week.

The doors will open at 1 p.m., as originally scheduled, on Friday.

An outdoor show with 140 exhibits covering 150,000 square feet at the convention center is accompanying the FLW Tour world championship of bass fishing. In addition to hosting Richmond’s Largest Factory-Supported Boat Sale, the outdoor show also features free daily giveaways sponsored by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a free country music concert by Andy Griggs on Saturday and great buys on everything from plastic worms to jewelry.

A complete schedule of events for the tournament and outdoor show is available online.
