I went...seemed kinda sparse...took only 10-15 minutes to see everything, and I mean everything.
It was a small show, but it was the first one. The next few shows will tell what is going to happen long term. We actually did a fair amount of business there and will return. The facility itself is very well lit, showed professionalism, had good security and has room for growth. If the place gets filled up with vendors it will be a very good show.
I think the promoters need to cut vendors some deals to get them in now because if you fill the hall with vendors then it will attract the people. If the promoters sold tables for $20 the next show and then gradually increased the prices of the tables $10 each show after that it would be a draw for vendors because their cost is so low. Just don't let too many non-guy tables into a show. People go to a gun show for guns. I know promoters want to fill the tables all the time and so they let non-gun stuff in from time to time. The problem is that if people see too much non-gun stuff then they will think the show is just a flea market with one gun vendor. I would rather visit a gun show with two vendors by themselves then a flea market full of non-gun tables and two gun vendors buried somewhere in them. I also think the extended hours need to change. Adding an extra hour onto the end of the day did nothing (9-6 instead of 9-5, and 10-5 instead of 10-4). By 4:30 pm on Sunday most vendors had been packing for a while and no one came in.
My two cents.

That's quite affordable, I should head over.$5 entry.
