    From a business viewpoint it would have to be the Indy 1500, but take business out of the equation and it would have to be the Shipshewana show. I like the nice building, atmosphere and environment. Plus, Shipshewana is a neat town.

    My favorite is definitely Nappanee followed by Shipshewana. I think the Auburn show has some serious potential, also.

    I agree with the 1500 just because of the size. I have only been to two others, lafayette and kokomo. I have heard that tipton is pretty good and plan on checking it out this weekend.

    I've only been to the 1500 as I live a few blocks away from the fairgrounds. Can everybody state why your choice is your favorite? Better deals? Friendlier atmosphere? Better vendors? I'd like to know if it is worth it to me to travel out of Marion Country for some shows.

    Glad to hear about the Tipton show as I was planning to head there this weekend as well.

    I am going with the Muncie show as it is the first show my grandfather took me too. I also too my wife and son to Muncie for their first show when my son was only 3 months old, my grandfather was also with us.

    Although Ft.Wayne & Kendallville are closer, my favorite is the 1500 because it's one of the rare times that I get to meet up with some great friends. I don't see them often enough, and the 1500 is a good excuse to do so. Plus, the 1500 has been the least expensive around for primers & lead! :)

    The Dugger Gun Show is by for the best show I have ever been to and I have traveled with my father to Gun Shows all over the Nation. It has the best quality of items I have ever seen. There is not one vender with bad guns or merchandise. Like I said it is the best no show has topped that one.

    Tipton, then Muncie. The 1500 is waaaaayyyyy to crowded most of the time. Missed the one in Alexandra.
