Fairgrounds Show this Weekend

[Welldoya]

I got an email about the show this weekend.
They’ve raised the entrance fee to $11.
Gotta draw the line somewhere. $10 was it for me.
It would be different if it was a great show but it’s not.

Sometimes it's good if you sling something and take it to sell or swap. May take my cm colt a1 project. There's a butt for every seat, just gotta find it.

That's my plan , except , I may just sling them , and walk around the area where people are waiting in line to get into the show.

Buddy dragged me to one a year ago, give or take.

Wasn't AWFUL, but since he paid for me to get it (and INSISTED on doing so), I didn't have anything in it but time.

I'd buy something if it wasn't 2x what you can buy it in a brick and mortar store in town or 3x what you can get it online.

Alas, I bought nothing.

Yep, seems like it was only 2 or 3 years ago that it was $5 or $6.
$10 is my limit and I didn’t like paying that.

March show at the shrine temple tables are 65.00 reserved in advance
most of the fairgrounds vendors are afraid to set up any where else less they get kicked out of that show { they are welcome to set up at USA gun shows}
its a whole different new and friendly show USA gun shows like the old shrine shows

Last few I went to was way overpriced. I did see a couple of things I was interested in but not at the prices they were wanting. At that money, I need to take all my crap sell it and retire

Did anybody go yesterday? Any reports?

I miss the gun shows in the old days….when it was all just guns and shooting stuff. Back when prices were not more than MSRP and everything was negotiable. I don’t need smelly stuff that I can burn in a candle or clothing or any of the other crazy, nonsensical stuff that shows up at shows anymore these days. And I don’t cross the bay to go into Mobile unless I have no other option….

Anywho, hope those that went found it a worthwhile distraction. Share with us your stories and finds!
