Did anybody go the "survivalist" fair at the Boulder County Fairgrounds over the weekend?

If so, any reports? It was supposedly organized by the same people that had the gun shows there before the County Commissars decided guns are scary.

We were down in Pueblo for my daughter's 4H stuff, otherwise I would have attended.

It was extremely disappointing.

How so? Low attendance? Small number of dealers? Useless crap on the tables?

I still think there would be a good local market for a shop that catered to preparedness and survival beyond the LGS, surplus shops, and the REI/Sportsmans/Murdoch's/Jax /Cabela's overlap. All of those stores have good pieces of the puzzle, but it's not all together at one spot. Maybe I am just dreaming...

Yes to all. Small number of dealers. Kitschy bling-trash off temu. Nazi memorabilia. Jerky, knives & larp swords, trump hats, ammo, ammo cans, plates/vests, patches, key chains etc.

I expected more than a flea market. My bad.
