SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Thousands of outdoor recreation industry representatives rallied Thursday at the Utah state capitol to show support for preserving public lands in an event that sent one final reminder why they're moving their lucrative trade show next year to Denver. Wearing hats and holding signs that read, "This is land is our land," an estimated 3,000 people marched from the convention center where the final show in Utah is being held this week in Salt Lake City to outside the capitol where they listened to speakers who implored the industry to keep flexing its muscle to advocate for lands protections. Amid threats by several major companies to boycott the expo if it stayed in Utah, show organizers announced earlier this year that they would leave Utah over Republican opposition to the designation of Bears Ears National Monument and the ongoing push to take more control of federal public lands.
