About the Expo
Over the first weekend in October, we’re hosting our 5th Annual Outdoor Expo.
What began as a 70th Anniversary celebration for our loyal customers, has swiftly become the premier event in the
Mid-Atlantic region for hunting, fishing, and outdoor enthusiasts. The Green Top Outdoor Expo is the largest outdoor
retailer show in Virginia and is solidly positioned as a must-attend event every fall.
This FREE, family-friendly event features 225 sporting life vendors, product demos, and exhibits. Keeping with a Fall Festival feel, there are tons of great food options, live music, and a fun-filled Kid Zone but what makes our show differ-
ent is the rare one-to-one opportunity to meet and talk with industry experts and celebrities.
Company President & CEO Blaine Altaffer said, “For me, the Expo is all about what it offers the attendees. It brings
together the right brands and new technologies and wraps it all in expertise and special offers. Consumers benefit from
this type of experience-based retail that puts the products in their hands to help make their buying decisions.”
We’re celebrating our 75th Anniversary this year, so we are bringing out the big-guns (pun intended) to deliver valuable
raffle prizes, national outdoor brand personalities, deep discounts, and specialty items. This year promises to be our best
yet!
So, mark your calendar and bring the whole family out for FREE outdoor fun! See you there!

Fundraising for Worthy Causes
Green Top is a proud supporter of these great charities. And we're glad to have them be part of the Outdoor Expo again this year.
Hunters for the Hungry provides donated venison to people in need. Since they began in 1991, they have provided over 7.2 million pounds and over 28.8 million quarter pound servings of lean meat to feed under-privileged individuals and families.
Ducks Unlimited leads the world in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. Since 1937, DU has been delivering its work through a series of partnerships with private individuals, landowners, agencies, and other entities to further the goal of conserving waterfowl habitats for future generations.
When the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) was founded in 1973, there were only around 1.3 million wild turkeys left in North America. But after decades of tremendous effort on the part of thousands of NWTF members, volunteers, professional staff, and committed partners, that number has risen to almost 7 million turkeys that are thriving across the continent. By facilitating the investment of $488 million in wildlife conservation and the preservation of North America’s hunting heritage, they have improved more than 17 million acres of wildlife habitat and introduced 100,000 people to the outdoors.
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings.
Through character development and values-based leadership training, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) helps young people from kindergarten to age 20 be “Prepared. For Life.®” Since its inception in 1910, more than 130 million young men and women have participated in the BSA’s youth programs operated by local chartering organizations, which implement the Scouting program for youth within their communities. More than 35 million adult volunteers have helped carry out the BSA’s mission over the years and have instilled a lifelong love for the outdoors in the hearts and minds of generations.
The Virginia Deer Hunter Association (VDHA) is a volunteer, statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to responsible management of Whitetail Deer and their habitat. The VDHA serves as “the voice” of deer hunters while protecting the rights and traditions of deer hunting. They proudly host the VA Whitetail Trophy Clash at the Green Top Outdoor Expo each year. This exciting contest is a way for the VDHA to raise funds and awareness to promote the sport of hunting.
Friends of the NRA and NRA - The heart of The NRA Foundation’s mission is preserving the core of our American values and traditions in our steadfast effort to Teach Freedom. Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation, Inc. aims to defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans. Their activities and events promote firearms & hunting safety, enhance marksmanship skills, and educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological and artistic context. Funds granted by The NRA Foundation benefit a variety of constituencies throughout the United States including children, youth, women, individuals with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement officers, hunters and competitive shooters.
The Marine Corps League proudly supports Marines throughout the United States.

The Marine Corps League also supports the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, Semper Fi Fund, Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, Mack's Marines, and the Young Marines.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization dedicated to advancing the fundamental human right of all Virginians to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I Section 13 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
