This is a Saturday only show, and less than an hour from the Kokomo show, so who is going to hit both shows?

 

[dvd1955]

Been to the Kokomo show a few times, so won't go to that one this weekend. How is the Rochester show? Is it much different than the Kokomo show?

 

[jstory]

Kokomo is next weekend, not this weekend. I'll be going to both...

So when is the show?
This is from 2015.

Rochester is about 1/2 the size of Kokomo and jstory is right. Kokomo is the 17th and 18th. Crown Point is this weekend.

2016 Rochester show is on the 10th. The 10th and 11th is also the Crown Point and Tri-state(Indy) shows.

This show is being held at the Fulton County Historical Society museum. It's located north of Rochester on US 31.

Yeah, I got the dates wrong on the Kokomo show. Still wondering if the Rochester show is worth the 50 minute drive. How does it compare to the typical Kokomo show?

I live in Lafontaine and will be going. Its a decent drive to say the least, but it may or may not be worth it. It is a smaller show, but with any show, its always hit or miss. The last Rochester show I picked up a 1941 Finnish M39. Beautiful rifle and is very good condition. Will I find anything this weekend? Don't know, either way, I am sure I will enjoy myself.

Went to the show today. Not overly crowded, didn't figure it would be. I picked up 500 55 grain fmj for $40. Over all, it was a decent little show, and one I will go back to. How did everyone do that managed to go?

 

[firefighterjohn]

Yes, it was a decent show. Although it was small at leasst all the tables WERE gun-related...no beef jerky, clothes, purses,...all that crap we see at some other shows that just fill table space. I thought quite a few rifles were way over-priced. Saw several 10/22s listed $100 over Midwest prices and saw several Mosins that really were outrageous. But I still picked up a few items at decent prices. It still was worth the trip and a Saturday spent at a gun show is ALWAYS better than yard work!

It's a very small show, I'd say less than half of Kokomo. Last time I went there was quite a few older guns which is what I was looking for, but that may not be what you are looking for.
