Gun show in Margaritaville...

[Truckman]

It's a fairly recent venue for a gun show, so since I was already helping a buddy with his 5 table endcap, I took an adjoining table and brought a few of my guns...It's open tomorrow also for those in the Lake Conroe area......Ben

They are sponsoring a show in Bryan next weekend at our new Phillips Center. They stated a $20 entry fee (good for both days) but I am hesitant to believe a lot of folks will pay that much to get in a gun show. How was the crowd today?

We've been paying $15-$20 here for a while. Ante up or stay home. All the venues have got greedy the last few years. It's a serious disease here. A VERY popular gun store/builder no longer has a shop front because he cannot get a place with sensible rent. Same happened with the local flower shop. The problem often stems from Orange County CA landlords thinking they can charge OC rents in NV.

I don't know if they call it that...It's a large multi-room meeting hall inside one of the hotel buildings at ground level...There are two entrances, one from the street, and the other (where I am) from the lake...Yes, you can drive your boat up to the dock (plenty of parking) and walk into the gun show...It's a very nice facility......Ben

It was a good crowd...Nobody likes to pay that much, but this promoter has his incentives...Yesterday he was handing out $5 coupons for his next week's show in Bryan...I'd like to attend that one, but I have three tables at the Conroe show next weekend, likely my last display show for a while......Ben
