    I hope you didnt go . This show was dead. I am guessing 30% of the Normal Vendors were there ? ( if that ) .
    I have Always tried to support this show. And I hate to say this but I am re-thinking it.
    After Talking with some of the Vendors it sounds like A lot of Shows are down ?

    Frankly I think the show promoters up north need to throttle back their events a bit. I get they are in business and the more shows they put on the more $ for them; but, I believe in the big picture it harms vendors, attendees, and even the promoters. If vendors aren't making enough $ to make expenses they pull back and if attendees aren't seeing enough vendors to justify the time & travel, word gets around and they too eventually pull back creating an ever increasing downward spiral for all.

    In terms of product, attendees, & vendors, IMHO the last show of any quality in Michiana was Nappanee which is held twice a year and most everyone knows it is only twice a year with vendors on a waiting list to fill the place.

    I debated for about 30 seconds as to or not, but all the Ft. Wayne area gun shows are very disappointing, fewer fewer vendors, lots of "junk" and unrealistic prices on things.
