08/29/2012
Nashville, TN The American worker and sportsman will be honored for his/her community spirit and volunteerism during the 2nd annual
Brotherhood Outdoors Labor Day marathon, which will feature eight back-to-back episodes airing from 1 to 5 p.m. ET. on Monday, September 3 on Sportsman Channel.
A collaboration between Sportsman Channel, the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) and Bank of Labor, this one-of-a-kind marathon will give viewers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these hardworking, blue-collar characters as they set out on a dream North American hunting or fishing trip or choose to show off their skills as guides—taking viewers to their favorite honey holes.
“Brotherhood Outdoors isn’t just a great hunting and fishing series but a true testament to the American spirit,” said Sportsman Channel CEO Gavin Harvey. “We are excited to once again show American workers they have a home at Sportsman Channel—not just during Labor Day, but every day.”
Between episodes of Brotherhood Outdoors, Sportsman Channel and the USA will pay tribute to the men and women who are working to make America not only a better place to live and work but a better place to pursue their outdoor passions. Throughout the day, viewers will meet everyday heroes who are working to preserve North America’s wildlife habitat, protect public access to quality places to hunt and fish and educate a future generation of sportsmen and women.
