An outdoorsman, hunter and author in addition to being a businessman, Robertson shot to fame when Duck Dynasty premiered three seasons ago on the A&E Channel.

A Vietnam veteran, the breakout star of the series is known for carrying around a blue plastic cup almost as much as he is for his storytelling and his constant use of the word “Hey!”

During the weekend, there will be a number of activities, giveaways and special celebrity appearances.

Customers will also be able to learn tips and techniques from professional anglers at the 4,000 gallon Field & Stream bass tank and practice at the Field & Stream archery trailer.
