    Harrisburg show? The Leesport show has never been very big or all that great. Seems like mostly the same dealers selling the same , , overpriced , , , junk. I've been there when half the tables were empty.

    Show was decent about 15 years ago. I don’t bother going anymore not worth it waste of time and fuel.

    Ehhh. It's a good ride on the motorcycle if it's a nice day and if I have nothing better to do. Took my truck this time. A/C keeping me cool and the Bose 7-speaker system cranking out a good Grateful Dead concert on Sirius XM. No traffic either.

    I just remember a lot of the shows were better years ago. Guess everything changes in time.

    Not sure who the promoter is, or if he changed the date of the show, but 2 or 3 years ago he put pressure on a few of my PA Cartridge Show dealers and they backed out of my show. Apparently he told them I must have changed my date, but we have had the same 3rd weekend in August for the last 24 years, and continuing for the foreseeable future. Perhaps they will come back, or try to. After losing 8 tables, we were forced to change venues a few years earlier than we had planned.

    Out of hundreds of gun shows, Leesport is the only one that I actually bought a gun. Not becasue I found the gun there. I went for the dealer that I knew carried the gun I watned.

    Wasn't aware there was a Harrisburg show that date or I would have gone to that one. Good reason for poor attendance at Leesport show
