I would have to agree!

Being biased as one of the vendors and not being at a gun show in awhile I thought for the area it was nice to see at least something going on. Ammo prices are bad everywhere unless you can intercept a Walmart stocking. As for the price, I pay that for a McDonalds hamburger which is bad for me so I guess its all in how you take it. The business next to us did well and sold at least 5 firearms so they were happy.
I just find it a little offish that there are so many complaints about price when I know "you" would spend 10 bucks in gas to go to Harrisburg or Monroeville, pay their fee of what? $5.00 or $6.00??? and also probaly buy nothing although time spent at the show would be greater and see more types of guns and ammo.
No one from the PAFOA stopped to talk to us which I was hoping that would happen.
Be greatful there was at least some attempt made to have a show close to home in these troubling times.Hope your shows are better for you next time.
