NWTF Announces Mossy Oak as Official Convention Sponsor for 50th Anniversary Celebration in Nashville

EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The National Wild Turkey Federation is set to return to Nashville, Tennessee, in under two weeks for its annual Convention and Sport Show and the celebration of 50 years of mission delivery. Long-time partner Mossy Oak is again supporting the celebratory event as the Official Convention Sponsor.

“Each and every year, the NWTF convention is the highlight of the Mossy Oak annual business cycle,” Mossy Oak CEO Toxey Haas said. “It is truly our ‘family reunion’ each year as we reconnect to our strongest and deepest relationships, both personal and business. It’s a celebration of love for the wild turkey and all things wildlife conservation like none other. And, for Mossy Oak, it is where we get the greatest of privileges to pour support behind what we love so dearly and our life’s work — our beloved wild turkeys!”

Mossy Oak, the Official Convention Sponsor since 2018, will continue to provide support for many aspects of the Convention and Sport Show, including youth calling competitions, the newly added Family Adventure Trail, sponsorship of the Waterin’ Hole and much more. Mossy Oak also will occupy booth No. 701 on the Sport Show floor.

Outside of convention support, Mossy Oak’s partnership with the NWTF includes its continuation as the Official Camouflage of the NWTF and annual support for wild turkey research efforts.

“What a special convention this is going to be; we are elated to have Mossy Oak as our Official Convention Sponsor again,” said Natalia Daniels, NWTF national director of corporate relations and licensing. “The Mossy Oak team is fully engaged and has big plans for the show. Be sure to stop by their booth and see for yourself.”

The first event of the NWTF Convention and Sport Show, officially sponsored by Mossy Oak, is the Pub Crawl set for the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 15. Convention festivities officially open on Thursday, Feb. 16 with the rendezvous sessions, the evening’s Kickoff Party and the opening of the Sport Show floor, which features more than 450 of the best exhibitors in the outdoor industry. The NWTF Sport Show runs from Thursday to Saturday in the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. Convention festivities conclude with a worship service on Sunday, Feb. 19.
