Wow, that starts early on Friday.

No kidding. I can get in all sorts of trouble before work w/ a 3AM start. Must be trying to create a new version of Black Friday ("Black Gun Friday" anyone)

Yucky day to be outside...therefor...perfect day to be inside at a gunshow! yippeeeee the yard work can wait!

 

[jcwit]

Just got back from Shipshewana and yes they have a craft show going on and the weekly horse auction, but the town doesn't seem to be overcrowded. parking is not a problem. Parking will not be a problem at the gun show anyway.

 

[mdemetz]

Went there about 4:30 . It was about the same size as South Bend's and not nearly as good as their show last week in Lagrange.

 

[jcwit]

Was there at the same time as you mdemetz, this was the first Gun Slinger show I've attended. Was not impressed. Glad I live only 8 miles away.

 

[gunguy]

same show

I was at the South Bend Show today. It has over 200 tables and the aisles were packed. I didn't make it to Shipshe. Did I miss a good show? It's hard to believe they had over 200 tables on the first show. Was there any good deals?

 

[mdemetz]

SB show was bigger and better(don't here that often) and had better deals. Note this SB show was better than most there. Car show/parts swap pretty much dead due to rain.

 

[itsgreg]

I was impressed for a first time show. More venders and more people then I expected. I had a booth there and bought 9 guns from people walking around.
