CLIFTON PARK — A massive new Bass Pro Shops, located alongside Interstate 87 in Clifton Park, has scheduled its grand opening for July 30.
The ceremony, which begins at 5 p.m. and is open to the public, will include a special “Evening for Conservation” that will feature big names in the outdoor industry, such as Roland Martin (winner of 19 Bassmaster tournaments and nine B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year awards), Jimmy Houston (a fixture on ESPN’s national fishing coverage), Kevin VanDam (the all-time winningest angler in the history of professional bass fishing), and Chris Johnston (the reigning Bassmaster Angler of the Year), among others.
The festivities will also include a performance by country music singer/songwriter Blaine Holcomb. Following the grand opening ceremony, the celebrity guests will be available for meet and greets and autographs until 8 p.m.
The new 70,000 square foot retail location on Clifton Park Center Road will be the fourth Bass Pro Shops location in New York State. The chain brands itself as the nation’s leading outdoor retailer, built on a passion for fishing.
