I am Headed to the Fort Wayne Show

Looks like the Elkhart Show I mentioned is next week. So I have a local show two weeks in a row

Park at Kroger's across the street and stretch your legs...

Fort Wayne was little about 1/2 the size as normal Alot of the same vendors that shoew up all the minus a few. Crowd was not very big
i still had a fun and i still beleive in supporting local shows

 

[Expat]

Shipshewana had quite a few vendors. The crowd was pretty light when I was there. They said it was busy earlier on. I agree with mike4sigs, I try to support local shows by attending.

was Shipshewanna Mask Mandatory .

I can't speak for this weekend, but the Shipshewana shows were not requiring masks last year when every other place was mandatory. The Amish appeared to have zero interest in them. :-)

No masks required and I don't remember even seeing one being worn.. The state or someone even shut the MEC (venue) down for awhile because they weren't requiring masks last year.

My son and I went to “National Gun Day” in Louisville… great collector guns, even greater ( higher) prices, neat stuff, the only thing I could afford was a Morakniv. $15 Dang it!! I didn’t know about Knob Creek!!

Sad to admit that it has been almost 10 years since I went to a gun show. With prices higher on some items than I ever dreamed they would be, like over $1000 for a MAK-90, $1000 for a "lowly" WASR and ammo more expensive than diamonds I decided that hitting several dozen shows a year wasn't worth the disappointment.

On the other hand, I do feel some joy at seeing rifles people recommended I stay away from (yet bought anyway) that were $300 now selling for $1500 and actually selling!

Fort Wayne show is tiny and costs $15 with parking. I will not be going again.

Phil and Bill's amazing collection of milsurp rifles is always fun to check out though. Good prices too

Knob Creek was amazing in 2006 when I first went and declined every year after. Last I went was 2014 and I regretted it.

Based upon the last sentence below, looks like I won't be going this weekend.​
