Wyoming Gun Shows

[SASABERANGER]

After much teeth gnashing, growing pains, a bankruptcy and some realignment the dust has finally settled...at least for now.
Wasatch. LLC is defunct and has folded their teepee.
Yellowstone, LLC is based out of Thermopolis, ramrod is John Corn and doing Riverton, Rock Springs, Thermopolis and Sheridan. Possibly a few other small towns and several shows in South Dakota. Heard mixed reviews, but nothing reliable and no first hand knowledge.
Cowboy State LLC has some family medical emergencies that have caused them to cease the gun show circuit for the immediate future.
Emery Webster out of Idaho took part of Wasatch's schedule. He has Rock Springs, Casper and Gillette. No info on their operation yet.
Wyoming Sportman, LLC took the rest of the Wyoming Circuit. They will cover Cheyenne, Douglas, Torrington, Wheatland, Lusk, Laramie, Afton, Jackson, Sheridan and a few others. This operation is run by Steve and Ethel Hoffine (Steve's Guns) in Laramie. Good friends and savvy promoters. FYI we have sold out the Torrington Show this coming weekend and most of the Douglas Show the following weekend.
This past weekend they held their opening show at the Terry Bison Ranch on I25. Despite the weather, sour economy and the Super Bowl we had a good crowd and a super Saturday. Friday and Sunday were boring, but that goes with the territory.
Got to see lots of old friends, got to see kids we have known for the past few years who now are as tall as Dad and have deeper voices.
As Iggy would say, "Catch out on the Trail".
FYI Iggy and crew are all alive and well, visited a couple of times this past weekend.
If anybody needs any info on the shows here you can always contact me at: [email protected]
The Wyoming State Collector Show is still the weekend before
Memorial Day Monday at the fairgrounds in Riverton, WY.
Look for us along the trail.
This weekend we will be attending the Alliance, NE Gun Club show in Alliance, NE. Two buildings, American Legion and Eagle's Club, both right across from K Mart.

Thanks for the update, Thom.
Will try to make at least "some" of the shows, weather permitting.
Will have to meet Iggy one of these days.

I went to one in Casper in June of 2009. I was on the way to a wedding in Denver and kinda venture a little out of the way. Besides that, I had never been to Wyoming before. It was a nice show, but unfortunately Iggy didn't show until the next day after we were gone. We went from high 90's and lots of humidity in South Mississippi to almost what we call winter down here. It was a nice trip and I'm sure I'll got back one day. We don't have those framed up things on the side of our interstates. I think they are supposed to help keep blowing snow off the highway. We saw some interesting critters out there. Not a lot of antelopes around here. Do they really taste like chicken?

Naw, they don't taste anything like chicken. My wife doesn't care for antelope - she says it tastes more like iron nails!

Charlie,
Antelope is actually a goat, even called Prairie Goat once in a while.
Not as tasty as White Tail or Buffalo.
Not to my liking at all.
Any time you folks get a hankering to visit let myself or Iggy know and we will try to conger up a show and make arrangements to be in attendance.
-15 last night, -13 at daybreak, about +10 at 3PM. Wind is trying to reposition the snow, kind of like the Pres and our wealth.
Ya all stay warm.

Sasaberanger, do they ever have any shows in Cody? I am guessing that would be only place reasonably near to me.

Hi, Chop, it's good to see you posting again. I haven't kept up with you very well since you left Atlanta. Hope things are going well.

Thom, I was in Cody a few summers ago and there was a small gun show near the Irma Hotel. Any idea who puts it on?

There are two shows a year in Cody. One sponsored by the Winchester Collectors Association and one by a local (I believe). Both are usually in late June or early July.
One or both are at the Cody Convention Center. If there were enough tables, one was sometimes at the Riley Area (next door to the Cody Quad Center).
Thom will be at the upcoming show in Powell, but I don't have my show calendar handy.
There is an upcoming show in Riverton the 18th, 19th, and 20th of February.
