Truth is, the October show is never that good, but the Feb/Mar show is. I always have a couple tables at the Feb/Mar show and do good. The 2 times I tried the October show was a bust, archery deer, pheasant, duck & goose seasons all open and then the farmers are in the field with people working at businesses to support the farmers, so no one to go to the October show.

No.
As mentioned, the 2 times I did in October it was worthless for me as a seller.

I will have at least 2 at the February 22nd and 23rd show in Mankato.

Just wondering if it was worth the trip to meet some friends. That is usually my reason for going to gun shows lately.

Good show, ran into a few folks I've been looking forward to seeing, bought a few mags I've been wanting and scored some components at a fair price.

Now I need to decide if I can part with enough stuff to have a table at the next show.... or just list it here and make you big city folk meet me in Mankato. ;)
