Canby gun show? Worth my time?

[snarlingdog]

Only reason I ask is I'm close to it, and I have never gone. Tired of the Portland BS and the drive. So is it any better than Portland?

Yes! Much better.

I will be attending it....

 

[snarlingdog]

Is there different vendor's there?

 

[partsed]

Not sure about that since I haven't been to the Portland show in at least 5 years. I see some of the same vendors each time I go, but it more about comaradare and spending time with your buddies than anything else. And if you come home with a new toy that is even better!!!

Planning on getting something either ammo for a 1911... Or both lol

It's OK, depending on what you like. It's fairly small but still worthwhile. I usually go to the shows in Canby but usually go away a little disappointed. Personally I much prefer the club shows over the promoter shows. Club shows like Albany, Rickreall, and Roseburg are far and away the best, in my opinion.

The Show is this weekend......right?


To answer my own question I looked on my list and it is April 28-29

The 28th and 29th

Canby shows are nice, low key, free parking, cheap entrance fee, no big crowds, same ole' folks with the same ole' stuff, and every now and then you can find an unpolished gem. And I can take all backroads to get there.

That's a perfect description, well said!

Smaller...no mahogany model airplanes, wasabe flavored peanuts, over-priced concessions, alligator jerky, high priced admission, outrageous parking charges ETC.

Worth the trip if you are in OC.

 

[partsed]

The show is today and tomorrow, hope to see you there!!!

 

[Mister Bisley]

[FireArm]

Take care and get well, there is always another show but not another you.....

 

[partsed]

Got there before the doors "opened" and there was a lot of trash taking about IP 43, 44 and the RINO that wants to run for governor.

There were some good deals, didn't find anything that I couldn't live without.

they raised the entrance fee from last year when I went $7 is a bit much for that show. I probably wont be returning any time soon.
this show is a Wes Condel show its possible the other show was put on by a different organization. but the guy at the door stated they raised the rent for the hall 3 years ago and thats when they raised the price which is weird because i have gone to many show there in the last three years and never paid $7 to go inside.
