May Indy 1500 just cancelled

[Hkindiana]

I just got a letter in the mail today from the promoter, and they have decided to CANCEL the May Indy 1500 gun show

 

[Route 45]

Smart move.

Looks like the next one is 28-30 August.

Hopefully

Haven’t been to one in a couple years. Went to most of them for twenty years prior.

Lets hope this Mess is over by the August show .
I have Been Trying to Do Good social Distancing and It is Getting old not having any new toys to play with

Might be able to get some good deals in August, vendors should be hungry for cash flow. I'm in!

 

[Mgderf]

I too went to more or less every one twenty years ago, maybe more.
I can't remember when they no longer held a draw for me, but I haven't been to one in more than a decade, and don't miss them.

The smaller shows are much nicer to attend.

I agree. The Stout Field show is perfect for me!

I understand it but personally that really sucks for me. My twin sons are graduating from High School this year and they have never been to the INDY 1500 (I haven't either since it's about a 2 hour drive for us). A couple months back they asked if I would take them on May 29th (their last day of school was the 28th) as a sort of celebrating high school is done. They won't be able to attend the August one because they will have already started college in a different state and won't be home then. They will be so disappointed.

This shall pass, just be patient.

That's my 10th anniversary weekend. Think it's safe to tell my wife I'm going to the show?

maybe not if you want an 11th anniversary . Unless you can work in a nice dinner to make it work.

 

[chefjerome]

Was August the original next scheduled date?

I believe so.

Yeah, me too, though they might have to if people continue acting like this crap is already over with - About 90% of the folks I see when I'm out and about don't have masks on, even if they're busy hanging out close to other people I get that people have cabin fever and want to get past all this, and luckily Indiana's case count seems to be holding steady for the time being, but things could easily go south again if we're not careful

Everything I'm hearing the August show is a go.
