Went this morning, was done in 20 minutes. I stopped in the parking lot and talked with three guys hanging around. They said it was fairly new and one thought it was the first show they had. Hopefully they get bigger.

I am not even sure it took us that long to go through it all. Was cool seeing some of the knives though.

I went at noon and it was $5 to get in. Not very big and maybe 15 vendors max. No where near the size of McHenry and won't be with the size of the VFW. Not a lot of duplicate vendors. More vintage firearms than modern. Other than one selling .22lr there was not any old ammo vendors. 1 person selling reloads or handloads. They were selling food. I am wondering if this is similar to the show they have at the VFW in Woodstock.

Anybody going this Sunday?

I'm going I went to the last one it wasn't very good but it's something to do maybe Stop by RDA donate money on what I don't know but I always fine something I'll know when I see it. I work from home 98 % of the time so it gives me a reason to get out.

We just had a gun show last weekend here in Douglas County. Other than the usual guys that are trying to rip you off selling OVER PRICED 22 ammo, it was pretty much the same old, same old. I did find and buy a couple of cool Glock pistol carry bags for $10 bucks.

How did it go?

A lot of people complained about how there was nothing at the show, but they all stopped in to our shop. We were slammed by folks checking us out.

I never did make it to the show or RDA had to work. I thing that show needs more vendors if not I think it will be short lived. I'll stop in at RDA this week I got an order there to pick up.

Thats a good thing. Every time our local show comes into town its like the same ole same ole. I guess I need to start heading out of town.

The McHenry show usually is pretty good.

Next Show: Feb 22nd - 22nd, 2015 at Holiday Inn Convention Center , Crystal Lake.

With our last show, you could see it all in about 2-3 hours.
