First and foremost, thank you for your valuable time and consideration to become a sponsor for the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic. The Classic will be held in Columbia, SC, March 25-27, 2022. This will be our 37th year. In 2019, we had almost 38,000 attendees.  Our attendance was up 16% over 2015-2019.  The past 2 shows were canceled due to COVID-19.

 

We offer a variety of sponsorship packages that we can gear to your needs. We are currently working with Academy Sports, Arctic Cat, Palmetto Armory, Eukanuba, and Chevy on a promotional sponsorship and were wondering if you might be interested in doing something similar. We can put together any type of package that you would like.
