RON SCHARA
RETURNS AS MC FOR
Game Fair 2009

Visitors to Game Fair 2009 will have
the opportunity to swap tales of outdoors
experiences with Ron Schara.

Schara has been the GAME FAIR Master of
Ceremonies since the first great outdoors
extravaganza at Armstrong Ranch Kennel
in 1982.

As a journalist, Ron Schara has been sharing
the great outdoor experience with his readers
for nearly three decades. Seeing through the
eyes and lives of others, his material has
captured the attention of tens of thousands of
fresh air enthusiasts by putting them as close to the
subject's setting as a reader or viewer can be.
Over the years, as his newspaper and television
popularity has grown, Ron's personality has
become more a part of the fabric of
the Midwest's outdoor community.

Ron's soft spoken but direct delivery, and
appealing on-camera image, have made him
a popular resource as an all-purpose,
outdoor/naturalist commentator for many
Minnesota radio and television stations. This
includes his own program, Minnesota Bound
which is seen on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. &
and Sunday nights at 10:30 PM on KARE 11 TV/NBC.
Ron's national program, "Backroads with Ron & Raven",
airs on ESPN2 and has consistently been one
of the highest rated shows on the outdoor block.
Ron's programs are seen on national cable outlets
THE OUTDOOR CHANNEL; it is also seen on
KTTC-TV/NBC in Rochester, MN.;
& on KVLY-TV/NBC in Fargo, N.D.
and on KSFY-TV/ABC in Sioux Falls,S.D.
His Minnesota Outdoors radio program can
be heard on WCCO-AM radio on
Saturday mornings. Ron's television programs
have won a total of four Emmy's to date.

His ever rising popularity hasn't been
 achieved by having his personality dominate
the story. Rather, Ron prides himself in
letting the story happen through those who live it
and simply allow himself to be the
guide to discovery. He's there to share a story, or to
inform on a cause or controversy.
Deep in the wilderness on the shore of an ancient
glacial trout lake or wading the waters
of an environmentally threatened inner city
wildlife pond, Ron's knowledge and
understanding of our natural surroundings is
more than just a journalist's assignment.
He grew up loving the outdoors in northeast
Iowa's rugged bluff country. He graduated with
degrees in journalism and fish/wildlife biology
and he has never veered from his ambition.
Whether writing a newspaper story,
talking with his radio and television audience,
or appearing before a live audience,
Ron Schara likes to use colorful storytelling
to create a story for his audience.

MEET RON AND HIS DOG,
RAVEN AT Game Fair 2009
