I'll see you there

Think I might make it out Sunday, maybe Saturday before I have to work.

Notice it's a different promoter than the usual one. Maybe it will better than in the past.

An excuse to wear my new INGO cap.

I'll be in the NE corner with an INGO sticker on my knife case. Stop by and say hi!. INGO member and grip maker extraodinaire walt o will be seated to my left!

Might swing by in the morning. Now that I'm reloading, I have more things to keep an eye out for. And since the fairgrounds are only 1.5 miles from my house.....

They started doing it last year.

Please post if it's a good show as I may be able to go sunday but it's an hours drive.

 

[Expat]

Won't be able to make this one...

 

[Bradsknives]

My understanding is the building does not have heat.....dress warm as it is suppose to get down in the low 20's tonight in South Bend. Tomorrow morning will be cold.

The building has heat.

As is typical, the best deals seem to be walking around.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Building only about half full. Not much there. Got some ammo cans and a nifty brass catcher.

 

[OakRiver]

I won't be able to make it this year with work

Yeah, last year it seemed a little sparse too.

 

[Gluemanz28]

I won't be able to make it to this one either

Disappointing turnout this year.

Disappointing turnout this year.

This is only the 2nd time the new promoter has done this show and there are more tables this time than the 1st time. Just laid out differently than the old promoter used to do.
As to the temperature a lot of that was the due to gale force wind and the lake effect snow from the N / NW that blew into the building every time the front doors were opened. Ah yes, SPRINGTIME in Indiana!

 

[BluePig]

Excellent deal on clean ammo cans was the best part of the show.

 

[Scottiedog422]

Springtime! I hear you and admit the weather hasn't helped. Didn't go the last couple years so the reference I had was a from a few years ago.

Brass catcher web site. This thing is cool!
