(Salem, OR) -- Officials are hoping to use Portland's drawing power to attract the world's largest outdoor-gear show. The Outdoor Retailer trade show announced last week it's pulling out of Utah because of that state's stance on public lands. Travel Oregon spokesperson Linea Gagliano tells KGW-TV that Portland is the perfect spot for the Outdoor Retailer trade show because of the city's access to the outdoors, the number of outdoor stores located in the city, and the new hotel being built next to the convention center.
