Let me know what you thought of it. I was invited to be a vendor but had I time conflict so won't be there this time.

It is fairly small, with a lot of repeat vendors but you will typically see some, older 'classic' stuff.

Kind of small version of an 'old school' gun show.

I had a good time at the show, spent around 45 minutes there. It had the usual stuff you'd expect, kinda like Wes Knodel's but smaller. Saw this sweet Winchester 101 O/U trap gun and was seriously considering it, but noticed a little crack on the forend, so I passed on it. Ended up grabbing a couple of boxes of ammo and a knife. My wife got herself some rhubarb pie and joined a raffle, haha.

The vibe was pretty chill, everyone was friendly. I'd say I got my money's worth, only cost $5 to get in, and parking was easy and free. Didn't see any outdoor stuff like camping or fishing, not sure if that portion got canceled. Would've stuck around longer if there was more to see. Anyway, it was a fun way to spend a Saturday morning. Didn't seem like the vendors were making big sales though, didn't see any firearms flying off the shelves while I was there but saw lots of folks pick up knick knacks and accessories.
