Albany Gun Show

[Rkangel]

I wasn't expecting ARPC levels of tables, but this one felt down right barren by comparison. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I was a little disappointed.

It would be great if some of the people who have tables at the ARPC show were at this one . I did miss rummaging through table and boxes for items of interest .

Yes that was the pepper ball gun vendor
View attachment 1979071reminded me of the stun gun vendors up at Portland Expo show .

Yup. I don't quite uderstand the thought process behind the promoter allowing something ike that at a gun show. Most likely ignorance on their part. A lot of people simply react diferently to that sound, especially those that have been in armed combat, (not me) and others that have a negative readction to sudden noises. (me) That and I have to have my weapons tied off but not they? I hear say that that was the last how for that promoter. I do hope so.

I did okay at the show. Sold enough to cover my table and not much else. But it is always an interesting excuse to talk guns with friends and cook up hairbrained schemes for gun builds we don't need.

458x2 American bolt gun anyone? Maybe a .35 Remington on a Swedish Mauser…

Didn't know you were there, what did you have on your table? I'd bet we talked, I'm one who looks at every table……except the purses, LOL.

I was across the aisle from @oremike and his ammo table. I had a Springfield 1922m2 and a Marlin .22 bolt action on my table with a bunch of other parts and pieces . My friend had the two FAL's on his table…

Ok, I remember you now. My friend who I came with looked long and hard at your Springfield.

@kmk1012 If he's interested, it's hiding in my safe for the time being! If he wants to go shoot it, we can meet at ARPC!

Just a follow up, I e-mailed Kendra about 2025 gun shows and got no reply. I also checked the Redmond fairgrounds calendar and saw no gun shows listed for 2025. I'm guessing the rumors are true that they are done putting on the gun shows.

 

[Cerberus Group]

Yes, this coming weekend in Redmond is her last show.

She is wanting to transfer the company to someone, had an interested party to take over, but haven't heard anything to confirm if that's been done.

My company is scheduled to be in both Redmond and Rickreall this weekend...will be talking with her this week...will pass along any updates.

 

[Cerberus Group]

Just heard that the last Wes Knodel show will be the week after in Centralia 21-22

Sad to see that. I didn't do a lot of their shows but liked having them as an option. I don't see Marla picking up these shows in fact looks like she is doing less this year as well. No Pendelton Seven Feathers or Grants Pass show listed.

 

[Cerberus Group]

I always did Redmond, as its due South of me and easy to get to...and did a few of her Albany shows, but never did Centralia.

Nothing will be scheduled for 2025 unless someone takes over...any takers here?

 

[Cerberus Group]

Just heard from Kendra, yes the Centralia show is her last. Being in Arizona and flying up here is a bit taxing on the family, so the decision is to end it unless someone takes over.

She mentioned a Julie and Mike will most likely take over the Oregon shows...Albany and Redmond, but not sure about the Centralia show, but nothing has been finalized yet. I don't think I've met Julie and/or Mike that I can recall.

Here's to hoping there's a smooth transition and the shows will continue.

I wonder if this Julie is the same as the one dong the Canby shows? I heard the last one there was a good one. Might be good to have some fresh blood promoting the shows.

Hi Mike, I personally emailed you a copy of the 2025 schedule with the new Owners information. We appreciate your patience as we are assisting the new Owners in getting set up and publishing the new schedules. Schedules will be published as soon as possible.

No worries, I was just passing on what little information I have. Lots of questions about gun shows with what's going on in the Oregon Courts. So far it's just business as usual but who knows how long that will be.
