I stopped going to gun shows years ago for the same reasons that many here always mention. Too much non-gun stuff and crazy prices on the few actual guns.Haven’t seen this mentioned here, yet. February 5th & 6th, 2022. I’m not part of it. I believe $10 admission. 2 floors. It has always been a great show.
This show, pre-Covid, was so packed you could hardly see stuff. It’s a good show. But being that it is in Vermont, where there is nothing to do, EVER, it gets packed.

But I've never been to the one in Barre and I have fond memories of working up there many years ago, so I think a road trip is in order.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Although I've generally stopped attending gun shows for many of the reasons stated, this one is a pretty good show. It may not be worth driving a long distance for and I'm not sure whether there will be a 'COVID impact'. If you are somewhat close by, it isn't a waste of time. A couple years back, there were substantial lines at some of the tables. I specifically recall Parros had a good chunk of the downstairs and had long lines. They were moving a lot of stuff.I went once. Lots of gun related stuff and many vendors you didn't see at the NH & MA shows (though many of them were there). Unfortunately lots of the attendees hadn't bathed or left their cabins since Christmas!
Went once just before covid lockdown. On a whim the girlfriend and I bought raffle tickets for a CMP rifle.I went once.

2300 people through the doors. I set a personal record for my shop for # of guns sold; hardly had time to breathe.Did anyone go? I couldn’t today. Was there any vendors? How was attendance?
