area-nashville R.K. Show @ new Lebanon Expo Center 12/17 & 18

[Grunt67]

1st. gun show at the new Expo in Lebanon. Anyone going? I'm anxious to see how this will go compared to R K Nashville & 'Boro.

Can't possibly be any worse than the old Lebanon shows.

may try and go on Sunday just to check out the new diggs. Need a couple odds and ends on AR parts.

Did the virtual tour,looks like it is a nice venue and now with the Nashvegas Fairgrounds Shows history maybe it will take off.

[Grunt67]

I hope so. Hopefully, all the folks that complained about the Nashville venue & wished for something out of town but close by ( self included here ), will show up & support it. The last 2 RK shows, NAsh & 'Boro were dead.

'Nuff said.

I can't make this one, but will try to make the next one.  I haven't been to a show anywhere in a really long time so I'm overdue for some old military gear and beef jerky.

I will be working it. I hope that it goes better than the last few shows at Nashville went for us! Being a new building I bet more people are interested in the building than the beef jerky and quad copters!

I think there's also one in Sparta this weekend. Do these folks do this on purpose?

I'm going to try and make it out. I'll look for you if I do.

Went to the show early this AM. Building is great, lots of room, well lit, aisle space.  Not a bad show for the 1st time, plus I was one of the 1st in the door, so the crowd was still arriving. Better than the old Lebanon show, for sure. Someone who was there later can get a better idea on traffic. Still a few non-gun items, but not as much as usual. Best part, I live approx. 15 mi. North.

Glad to hear it wasn't a bust. The Sparta show wasn't bad, and was very well attended.

We went to Lebanon, got there about 10 or so. Fair crowd, ammo was still a bit high, firearm prices fair. No parking fee, but 10 dollars to get in.

best show there has been in Lebanon, although that's not saying much. decent number of vendors, was there around 1-2 and the crowd was pretty thin. I did see people buying guns and several of the vendors seemed ok with the show. I could not find any jerky!! You could however get your concrete leveled.

The disappointment is there is just a bunch of all the same stuff on every table. Mostly modern black guns. I guess that's just the way things are, and are going to be. It may be that shows just peter out. With our gun salesman in chief being booted they may just loose their luster. With the internet it's a gun show every day and 25 buck transfers to dealer near you, I'm afraid it's a dying venue. And it's a shame too. I always enjoyed looking at a variety of guns, but they just don't come out any more.
