Re: Oaks Show Feb 10 -12?
Let me think a bit. The show itself was ok. Didn*t buy anything great other that a 1000 lg rifle primers for 90$. Can*t find them in my neck of the woods. My stk is good but a coworker needed them. Turnpike tolls from Mechanicsburg, fuel costs, entry fee, lunch at fitzwater inn makes for a pricey day. I may start skipping one or two between going. I just don*t really need anything I can*t get online or at my favorite shops. On a side note how about the $ on garands. It*s crazy are they really selling at these prices? Saw a couple of sellers with cmp guns at 500 to a 1000 dollar mark up. You can*t tell me the buying public is that gullible.

What makes you choose the Fitz over the Perky?

Does he still have any inventory to sell?

I need educated what*s the perky? Always up for trying a new place. Generally speaking the fitz has decent food cold beer and even bathing beauties when the weather is warm. I kinda like the run down small town places.

The Perky is a block or a block and a half away from the Expo Center. When pulling out of the Expo Center on Station drive, take a left on the first side street then a right onto Brower Avenue. It'll be on a corner lot on the left, right up the street. I don't think you'll find the bathing beauties there but otherwise, it's a nice hole-in-the-wall that had decent food. There were days when I frequented both of the places but not at the same time. But it has been a while so I can't vouch for what they are today.

Next trip down the perky it will be. One of my favorite parts of a oaks show is hanging with my jersey relatives over food and beer. And yes I apologize I still have family in jersey most have left but there is a few stragglers.
