Worth two hours behind the wheel?

How does this one typically compare to the St Joe fairgrounds show?

 

[kaveman]

Elkhart's twice as far for me but I'll go. St Joe I usually skip.

 

[Drakkule]

Elkhart is one of the better shows that I do, I believe that there are between 350-400 tables. Oh, and good BBQ on site.

So do most of the vendors go home sat. night ? Just wondered if Sunday is worth going.

In original post.

I did see 2 vendors leave, but it was only 4 tables total for the pair.

The one vendor goes to church and doesn't do Sundays, I'm not sure about the other.

Got a bunch of rain so I canceled my fishing plans and made the two hour trek. Overall a decent little show. I dint have much going on and left the house with an open mind. Like always stupid high prices on most everything although there are deals to be had if you search them out.

Was able to walk away with some very nice ammo cans $10ea to add under my loading bench. Scored a stack of 20ga slugs and buckshot for 3per box. Traded some range scrap brass for the last two cans of Titegroup powder and some 30cal bullets. Only one guy selling loading components. He is very nice and always treats me fair on prices.

Sat and had a can of pop while chatting to fellow gun folk. Got crop dusted and B.O.ed and headed for home. Was it worth the two hour drive? Not really although I got out and saw some new countryside and had a really nice day. Cant wait to hit the range!

 

[mdemetz]

Very little non gun/knife stuff. Saw more .22 .

 

[TacticalFun]

Can we use debit to get in or cash only?

 

[mdemetz]

They have an ATM.
