takes great public support and patience to build a show. Public
support means more dealer participation. More dealer participation
equals even more public support. With your support this show will
grow larger than the former Fort Washington Expo Center show.

If you can't make it to the Reading show, don't forget that the Leesport Farmers Market gunshow is the following weekend, Nov 17th & 18th 2007.

There were a few hundred tables there today. Lots of space to walk around. Room for 1000 tables.

Ammunition is still high, although for bulk purchase, it seems to be priced at what you can get it for on the net, if you include shipping. Individual boxes were always way more than you would pay at the Walmart Supercenter over in Temple.

A few nice surplus rifles, although most people seemed to be buying accessories. (magazines, gun cases, gun parts and logo merchandise)

No crowds. Still not enough foot traffic, according to many dealers. No problems with PICS for background checks.

It's nice not to have to pay for the gas to go to Allentown or Harrisburg for a gun show, and it only costs $7.00 to get in with free parking.


Anybody elso go?
