    Don't hardly post much here, but wanted to give a heads up on the Nappanee Show. Put on by the Northern Indiana Gun Collectors Association it had to cancel the last few due to a building situation. I'm glad to hear it is back and will take place October 20th. Its a one day show, ALWAYS has lots of GREAT stuff.... And no Beanie Babbies, Avon or Jewelry. Its a real old fashioned gun show put on by gun folks not promoters! I hear it is sold out for tables, and that the new building will hold about 50 more tables than the old building. Really looking forward to this show!!! Stop by if you get a chance you won't regret it!

    Just had a look at the new building Thursday that the show will be in during another event there. Gonna be a GREAT building! Bright & roomy compared to the old building if you remember those, and all one big room! The address for your GPS is: 13924 N. 1100 W. - Nappanee. It's a couple miles south and a bit West of the old locatiion. But keep in mind some GPS's will take you to 1050 W (One road east) instead of 1100 W. (west County Line road) Maybe something with the building being so new I do not think it is quite ID'd right yet on some GPS systems. My GPS told me to turn into a farm, on 1050, so I googled the address again and saw the one road over issue, and made the change. The new building is actually right behind that farm on the next road west. The new building is called the "Claywood Event Center".

    Do you lose a hour or gain? I think there’s a Time change from Indy. I wouldn’t want to be early or late when driving 3 hours away.

    Ok, now I'm totally confused. Sometime back when I Googled this location it appeared to be slightly south and couple miles west of the previous Dutch Village location putting it south of the tracks. Today when I followed the NIGCA page link it's north of the Goshen-Plymouth Trail on east side of County Line; which is it?

    When I gps'ed it last week it showed south of 6 and (if I'm remembering right) west of the old location

    How far is this from Rentown? Do they still have the free cheese samples? Sounds like lunch :-)

    I can check when I go Friday and let you know. Otherwise, you could hit the restaurant in the old building for lunch.

    I could go for some chocolate covered coffee beans.... go there first Expat, and meet me at the show

    I will have to get some more of those, but may not get enough to share. :):


    Maybe I should test out the directions on Friday when I go to Rentown to shop as I think we are going to try to attend this one Saturday.
