Default Yuma Gun show

All.
Yuma's gun show is this weekend. I have rented a table for a Yuma show, first time here in 25 years. I get to sit on the other side of the table and over price my guns and try to fleece the widows and orphans selling, "Dear old Dad's guns". It is a different experience from just walking the floor.
I asked the promoter for a table in the area of Dan M. and Ed C. and the rest of what is known as the California crew. This bunch of gents is walking S&W history. Some current and some not so. The opportunity to learn from them is well worth the price of a table. I have seen some very unusual and rare variations of S&W's finest guns while visiting with these gents. It should be a wonderful time for me at least.
I am taking a few of my excess S&W's, Colts, M1 Garand small parts, and enough stuff to cover 3 tables. I rented one. I keep thinking I should a have a goal or idea of what I want in a S&W collection besides "MORE". I am trying to thin the herd. I am taking a couple Pre-war guns, K22's, K38's, 14's, 15's, 19's, 28's, 27's, Pythons, 24's, 624's. 5 screws, 4 screws, and newer. Both of those Round butt .44 Specials 3 inch guns are on the chopping block
Come find something you want and convince me you need a bargain.
Any and all of you Arizona gents come on over, the weather is supposd to be a little cool, 75-85, but bright and sunny.

Is the show still at the fairgrounds? Does it go through Sunday? Do you happen to know what the hours are?
I have checked repeatedly on this show and it never shows up on any calendar for the fairgrounds, thus I am totally unaware of it.

I would really like to show up, maybe Saturday afternoon depending upon how long it stays open.

Thanks for any info!
