Some
of the most dedicated outdoorsmen in the country will gather for the
21st Annual Sportsmen’s Alliance “Save Our Heritage” Rally Sept. 9 at
Villa Milano Banquet & Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio, to
celebrate the outdoors lifestyle and raise funds to protect their
passions. Headlining the festival of events will be Melissa Bachman,
host of Winchester Deadly Passion on Sportsman Channel.
“For nearly four decades,
the Sportsmen’s Alliance has protected hunters, anglers and trappers
from attacks in state legislatures, the court system and at the ballot
box. More recently, we’ve seen animal-rights activists use social media
to threaten sportsmen with physical harm, including women and children,
and it’s an arena we’ve helped numerous people navigate,” said
Sportsmen’s Alliance President and CEO, Evan Heusinkveld. “As a
dedicated sportsman, television celebrity and someone who had been
targeted by anti-hunting activists, Melissa is the perfect person to
speak to the importance of defending and promoting the outdoors
lifestyle.”
Bachman, who was once
besieged by animal-rights activists for conducting perfectly legal
hunting activities, hosts Winchester Deadly Passion, currently airing its
sixth season on Sportsman Channel every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
“I’m looking forward to
speaking with attendees at the Sportsmen’s Alliance rally,” said
Bachman. “It’s so important for the hunting community to come together
and protect each other, as well as to welcome new hunters into the mix
with open arms.”
