Its not on their web site. But its not the first time Great American has had a show pop up in Memphis unannounced.

I found it announced here:

https://gunshowtrader.com/gun-shows/memphis-tn-gun-show/

I don't know whose site has got bad data, finding consistent information about gun shows in TN seems like a fool's errand sometimes.

I checked yesterday and it wasn't on Great American's web site. But I found out about the last GA Memphis show when I saw a small sign with an arrow while driving down Summer Ave. 

But, since the place is only a couple of miles from my house, I'll probably go. Oh well, it gets me outta the house for a little while.

Can confirm the show is going on.  Stopped by today.

I went. Not bad. I got to talking to one of the vendors when he remarked that the crowd was small. I told him that there was almost no advertising for this show and he was shocked.  

Oh well. I don't like big crowds anyway.

Local radio was playing ads and I saw a couple billboards advertising it.  You would think a quick web search would net some reliable dates and times, but I guess that's a lot to ask

Every time I've been to that show in the old Shriner's building, it seems like the exact same show with the exact same crap as last time, and very little that's interesting.  The last Jackson TN show I attended blew this one out of the water, not that that amounts to much.
