    This appears to be a good size show, yes?

    Previous shows, I thought, were decent if you knew what you wanted, in and out type of stuff. BUT, it needed help to get more dealers with more firearms and firearms related items. The new host has promised exactly that and I was told has years of experience. Besides, if it stinks, you can head over to the other halls for the craft show!!!

    Remember when they did the combo with the train show? Holy crap! How could you not know that traffic in all directions would come to a halt? What a mess! Two of the most popular expo industries in the same center. Doh!

    If you could show proof you were at the last show, they ought to let you into this one for free.

    This is it for me at this place, if this show isn't spectacular, I'll never go again, period. Been burned on dismal shows here too many times.

    I'm torn on this one. I went to the first two shows here and then didnt bother coming back. I loved the layout and space but the shrinking number of vendors was terrible.

    I would like to give them a try, but I also realize it may take more than one show with a new promoter to completely turn it around. Hope it works out well.

    You folks have to remember this is now Eagle Arms doing this show NOT the old promoter.

    How bad the old show was was one reason Oaks management contacted Joel to take over.

    Eagle does one hell of a show, you will see a lot of new dealers as well as some of the ones that did do it.

    IF this show becomes good, it'll be like having two VF shows . . . .


    Eagle Arms does Allentown @ Rodeway and Split Rock. If those people are willing to travel, it could be good. If the management changes, but not the vendors, big yip . . .

    I can tell you right now just about every Split Rock dealer is signed up for the Oaks show and as far as I know the show is sold out.

    Some of those dealers are actually from down south. Many more are no further from you than Lehigh Valley.

    Hope it turns out well. I'm not driving down there without a shoot scheduled.
