Bass Pro Shops opening in Clifton Park July 30

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The grand opening for Bass Pro Shops in Clifton Park is taking place on Wednesday, July 30. The 70,000-sq. ft. store is located on Clifton Park Center Road. This is the fourth Bass Pro Shops in the state.

The grand opening is doubling as an “Evening of Conservation” where 20 percent of every dollar spent on most items will be donated to local conservation organizations. In addition, there will be a weekend-long celebration featuring fishing and hunting celebrity appearances, leaders in conservation, family activities, giveaways, and more.

The festivities begin at 5 p.m. on July 30 with a performance by country singer Blaine Holcomb. Guests will be able to enter the store after the 6 p.m. ribbon cutting.

Bass Pro Shops said the following figures in the entertainment and outdoor industry will be in attendance:

• Roland Martin, winner of 19 Bassmaster tournaments and nine B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year awards, and the first professional bass fisherman to be inducted into the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.
• Jimmy Houston, one of the biggest names in the history of fishing, a fixture on ESPN’s national-television coverage of the sport and member of both the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.
• Kevin VanDam, the all-time winningest angler in the history of professional bass fishing, with a resume that is unmatched. Kevin won four Bassmaster Classics, is an eight-time winner of major tour-level Angler of the Year titles and more than $7 million in tournament winnings.
• Chris Johnston, the reigning Bassmaster Angler of the Year, who clinched the honor with an impressive five-bass catch weighing in at 29 pounds, 5 ounces, on the final day of the Humminbird Bassmaster Elite  at the St. Lawrence River last August. He became the first Canadian to win an Elite Series tournament when he won on the St. Lawrence in 2020.
• Keith Beasley, the oldest of the three Beasley brothers from the popular TV show Canada in the Rough, voted Canada’s Best Hunting Show. Keith is an adventurous hunter and outdoorsman who loves to travel to exciting and often-rough destinations, and teaches valuable life lessions to his kids through outdoor experiences.

They will also be available for meet and greets and autographs until 8 p.m.

After the grand opening, the store’s regular business hours will start on July 31. The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
