Good to see you don't have diabetes. And hide it all from Frakes, he'll eat your out of house and home. On the other hand, now I know where to go for goodies. All these years I've worried about taking enough money and guns.
 
Be there around 10:00 AM. Hope it's a good one. Last one was rather difficult to find parking South of downtown!
 
Well, I can tell everyone that parking wasn't a problem. We got there at 8:00 and found a spot right at the first light pole. I was surprised at the light traffic and lack of a line at the lot pay windows. It was because no one was at the show. Kind of a light turnout for both vendors and customers.

Doublesharp even offered me a candy bar. Me, the unworthy! All the usual culprits were in attendance. Frakes (GF) got out of bed a little late but to his credit, he did make his late appearance. Bengals Fan was there and sold me everything he brought to sell. He did offer his 1920s M&P Target to the Fugates, but I don't think he really wanted to sell it. He sold me his prewar K magnas and his Heiser lined holster. Guess I was in a good mood and just paid his price, no haggle. Its the advantage of pricing things fairly. The holster even came with a belt that fits around my fat gut. Its of unknown parentage with no markings I can find.

The grips don't have a serial number. I have no idea what that really means, but I'd guess they were either put on by the shipping dept or sold as an accessory. Nice condition. Don't know what I'm going to do with them either. Just like everything else I've ever bought, stole, swindled or cheated someone out of. Into the parts pile they go. Some day when the house gets flooded or burns, all that nice stuff will be gone.
 
No problems parking this show. The show continues to decline in size and attendance. In my opinion, and I've only missed one over the last 30 years, it won't be long before the show goes away if things don't improve. It seems the promoter is not revered by the exhibitors and I noticed several of the old longstanding vendors replaced by pickle vendors and venison sausage vendors. I'm not going to pay $20 plus travel Togo for no more than is there that interests me.
