Market Friday at Bass Pro Shops
My husband and I decided to make a visit to Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World located in the Arundel Mills Shopping Center at 7000 Arundel Mills Cir Suite E-2 in Hanover, Maryland 21076.
We were in the area and our intent on stopping was to look as opposed to buying. If you've never been into a Bass Pro Shop then, let me tell you, there is a whole lot to look at while there.
We specifically wanted to look at a Henry Lever-Action .22 LR (LR-Long Rifle). However, I wanted to look at a lot of the displays they have as well.
It seemed like they had quite a bit of ammo on the shelves and behind cases but nothing that we needed and we usually buy any of that online anyway.
Right here is where I had myself a good laugh. You see I smelled pot aka marijuana. Most of the time it has a very distinct smell. I know this because I've been around people that do partake of the ganja and I also used medical marijuana for my own health issues. Unfortunately, while it helped a little, it made me extremely nauseous so I went back to my regular pain medication. Anyway, I'm looking around and there was a gentleman that had just walked by me and I just kinda' laughed to myself thinking "I bet you're feeling pretty good". Well, I had an even bigger laugh when I turned to my left and saw what was in the aisle that I was standing in ....
... oh my goodness! It still makes me laugh as I'm writing this! Chances were more likely that the smell was from the different aromas that were for sale in that aisle. Some people call the especially fragrant stuff "skunk weed". Some people don't care for the smell of "skunk weed" but it doesn't bother me.
One thing that I really wanted to see while I was there was the huge fish tank. I love seeing all of the different fish swimming in the tank. Including the large Blue Catfish that I made the gif of above and he (or she) almost seemed to smile for the photos! Of course, there were many other fish to see also. Most of them were swimming so fast but I think I got a few good photos in!
Another thing that I did think about buying was a plaid shirt for my son. Who knew that there were so many kinds and styles of plaid shirts?! In the end my husband and I decided that it would be best to just have him pick out one himself at a store closer to where we live.
On our way out of the shop I did stop for just a minute to admire some Christmas wreaths, snowman water globes and Christmas lamps. It is definitely a shop that you can spend a lot of time in looking around at all of the wonderful displays and walk out of without buying anything and still have enjoyed the visit! 💖
Thank you @dswigle aka Denise for #marketfriday!!

These are my favorite stores to go to.
Thanks so much @sketch.and.jam!! I love visiting although it isn't often since we don't live all that close to it. We did get that .22lr but online and we may be picking it up today or next week. It has to go through "the process". I'll be doing a post about it in the future. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!! 💖
I always get ideas about new camping gear but I have not place to store it or enough time to even use any new gear.
Thank you very much @pixresteemer!! 💞

Thank you @will91!! It is definitely interesting with lots to see. It is a store for camping, hunting, fishing and anything for the outdoors.
Hi @deerjay, Looks like your house has a lot of collections, that's what I like the most. Here I also do the same thing, because I really like collecting unique things
Thanks so much @azirgraff!! It is a shop for outdoor activities items. Definitely a cool place to just wander around in and take in the sights. 🙂
Hehehehe Youre welcome @deerjay
I love the Bass Shops and Cabellas! I want to say the same people own them, yes? I just went to Cabellas last week to buy one of those vacuum sealers for a gift. They are so nice and allow you to buy in bulk or if you receive a large amount of chicken or beef, you can portion it out nicely and freeze, allowing for fewer trips to the grocery or butcher shop.
The catfish was awesome! You really got a great shot of him. I love the displays there. The bears always look so huge! Well, they are huge! I have been to that bass shop on the way to my Shore House, I have to go over the Bay Bridge. :) It is an easy stop for me and besides, I love that store! I am so pleased to have you post into the #MarketFriday challenge. I know this is an especially busy time of year, so I am pleased that you took the time. To be honest with you, it touches my heart that it has continued for so long, and yet, almost every single person gives me something fresh and interesting. Many people really thought it would run its course of markets and end, but, everyone that participates has proven this theory wrong. With Christmas upon us, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you so much for helping make this challenge a success. Without your help, it would be just another place to post. It is people like you that have given it a recognizable name. Thank you! ❤
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thanks so much Denise!! That sounds like an awesome gift and I think whoever gets it will be overjoyed to have it! I love being able to post for #marketfriday and wish I got out more often to do so. Lol.. we are in close proximity so mine are not so exotic but definitely relatable. I figured that you would've been to this precise store and you may well know where things are to be found better than me. I get lost in looking at all of the displays and I love it! I am not surprised in the least that Market Friday is still going as strong now as ever. You are a wonderful host too! Wishing you a beautiful and Blessed Christmas Denise!! 💕
