Nappanee gun show

[walt o]

As i understand it this is just for this year .READ IT AND WEEP
I'm sorry to say that we have to cancel our NIGCA Club show in Nappanee, for October 28th, 2017.

Dutch Village has been sold. A new Event Center is being built about 3 miles away . We have spoken to the owner & are very excited about the new building. He was hoping to have it completed by our October show, but because of permit hold ups, its not going to happen.

We're hoping it will be ready for our March , 2018 show.

Those of you, who have pre-paid-I will gladly refund your money or apply it to the March show.

The new building will be one big open room, with a nice kitchen! I think we will be happy there!

Thank you for supporting us all those years at Borkholders / Dutch Village, and for being so patient during EVERYTHING!

Please pass the word-I will be sending post cards out, and contacting ads that are all ready out there. You can call us at 574-936-4431, or email.

Thank you, Darlene Best
NIGCA Gun Club

hope they have the facility ready for the next show .THat is a great event

I was really hoping something would happen last minute for the fall show to get the green light. Always look forward to the Nappanee shows.

I cry a bit as I erase it from my calendar.
Too bad they couldn't do something like rent from Hahn's Auction barn or even open up one of those RV places for the day.
Wonder why they can't arrange something with the American Countyside Market.

TIME ran out i suppose .the new building was to be complete for this fall show ,when you make plans and at this late date and things aren't ready other venues are already booked or un willing to book for 1 day. I am sure that Darlene will have the show again . Hope springs eternal in the human

I'm confused and hope for clarification. Have always believed Darlene was an officer of NIGCA and therefore among the organizers for the Nappanee show. Recently I've seen her name attached to an upcoming Rochester FOP show (9/09) and am wondering if many of the 120 tables will be filled with NIGCA members, cause honestly I believe that contributes in large part to the Nappanee show being so desirable... and would probably make the xtra drive to the Rochester show worthwhile for me this fall.

To the best of my understanding (and I've been wrong before), Darlene is not promoting Plymouth. She is teaching/mentoring the F.O.P. in Plymouth how to run a show. She told me that the sign-up sheet for the November Plymouth had no bearing on her other shows.

While that tract of land on E Wabash is large enough for The Country Products building, ample parking may be another issue. Gosh, would it be too much to hope wherever it is, there is at least enough gravel or pavement to not have to walk thru the mud and slop that could be found out at Dutch Village?

If my information is correct, then yes.
