The second annual Ducks Unlimited Expo (DUX), presented by Purina Pro Plan, is slated to take over the Texas Motor Speedway April 8-10.

This one-of-a-kind, family-friendly expo will put the latest and greatest outdoor gear in the hands of attendees and include villages featuring everything from archery, fishing, retriever demonstrations, biking and more.

"There is something for everyone at the DUX event," said DU CEO Adam Putnam. "Where else can you try out the latest fishing gear in the morning, watch world-class dog trainers in live demonstrations in the afternoon and hear some of the greatest waterfowl calling in between? This event is an outdoor enthusiast's playground."

The DUX extravaganza will feature educational seminars and demonstrations from industry leaders and exhibits displaying the latest in outdoor accessories, in addition to a waterfowl calling contest and an off-road biking course.

"The inaugural DUX event surpassed our expectations," said David Schuessler, DU's National Director of Event Fundraising. "This year's event will be even more impressive with a reconfigured village layout allowing attendees to have a more immersive experience. With hundreds of sponsors, exhibitors and vendors, this year's event is going to be massive."

The event will take place at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, April 8-10 at the Texas Motor Speedway infield. Single-day tickets are available for $10, multiday tickets for $25. For more information on the event, visit duckexpo.com.
