Between soccer practices, hectic work and school schedules, and a seemingly never-ending list of household chores, we know how difficult it is to find the hours to gather the whole family together. In fact, recent surveys show that families are spending less and less time together. On average, most families only spend 37 minutes together on a typical weekday, with that time increasing to only 2 hours and 40 minutes on the weekends. With the rise of internet usage, families are finding it hard to spend quality time together that doesn’t involve a phone, TV or computer. But it’s not just time that is slipping away in front of those screens: studies have shown that families who dedicate a minimum of 20 minutes a day to family time either outdoors, shopping, or enjoying a dinner around the table, have children who grow up to be happier and healthier. Your local Bass Pro Shops Gainesville is happy to offer fun-filled, educational events that make finding the time a little easier.
If your family is searching for new ideas on how to rally the troops together, look no further than Celebration Pointe. North Central Florida’s dynamic, new mixed-use development is full of family activities including shopping, dining and entertainment venues each and every month. Bass Pro Shops Gainesville contributes to the #UnlimitedCelebration through sweepstakes, events, and seminars almost every weekend.
Bass Pro Shops’ events make for easy planning for quality family time, while providing a fun learning environment. Celebrations like May’s “Go Outdoors Event”, provide families with information on ways to be active in the natural playground that is Florida’s wildlife.
On June 9 and 10, 2018 you can gather the family around the catch and release pond out back for a fun-filled weekend at the “Gone Fishing” event. Informative Seminars on a variety of fishing topics will be running, as well as crafts and photo-ops for the whole family. Be sure to stop by the store and check out the Video Game Trade-in, where guests can trade in a video game for a voucher for $5 off a youth starter combo. All proceeds go to Local AMVETS.
Bass Pro Shops Gainesville also hosts plenty of fun, educational seminars for all families to enjoy. Every other Saturday from now until August, see how Top Tier K9s learn every aspect of their training. You can even bring Fido in for a free evaluation on what type of training is best suited to your dog!
The leading national retailer of outdoor gear and apparel also promotes giveaways to encourage families to explore together. Bass Pro Shops’ upcoming sweepstakes, “Pledge to Take Someone Fishing,” runs from now – June 21, 2018 and enters you for a chance to win a 2018 Toyota Tacoma.
Bringing the family together is easier than ever with the help of the events, sweepstakes and seminars offered by Celebration Pointe and Bass Pro Shops Gainesville.
