Sure, I move out of Trinidad and now they have local gun shows.[Rant1]

It took some work to get it going, but things have really come together. It starts at 9:00 AM each morning, so you will have plenty of time to swing by. Sorry Bob, I've been trying for a few years to get one going, and finally I was able to help in setting one up. We are going to have it annually, but if it takes off well, as it seems it has, we are going to try and do it semi-annually. You can come back and go to the Blues fest on Saturday, so it makes the trip worthwhile.[ROFL1]

We had a decent one in Trinidad about 15 - 20 years ago and was held in the former Holiday Inn. Was a nice LITTLE show but the aisles were way WAY too narrow for that particular show but I'll bet your show will have ample room for a lot of bargains. The Fire Marshal would have most likely closed it down had he checked it out. Had a good number of attendees and vendors in a tiny space. Hope your upcoming show does real well! A day and a half drive kinda rules out my attending.

I got my table set up tonight. Looked around a bit, and there are a few private tables with quite a few guns. I didn't look at the usual big dealer tables, but appears there are going to be some fair deals, some better than fair.

Any feedback on the gun show in Trinidad??

I didn't get to go. I had to go to Springs yesterday and had to work today. My brother ran my table. After talking to a few others, they said it was really busy and they were seeing a lot of guns and gear walk out. I sold some ammo, brass, a knife and a couple rifles.
