Ill be there at the GOAL table. Be sure to stop by and say "Hi"
Which day?
Both. Looks like I have only one volunteer to work the booth at this point so I get to work all the shifts, so be sure to stop by!!
I had hoped to go Saturday but I have to be at an H1N1 clinic up in Petersham. My son and I will probably go Sunday morning. If we do, we will say hello.
Read the other 100 threads on the Big E gun shows in this sub-forum and you'll find all the info you could possibly want in order to make a decision on whether or not to make the ~2 hr trek out there.
It is a "circuit" and the Big E will have most of the same vendors as the Marlboro show on Jan 30-31, 2010. One caveat to that . . . if there is a huge show in PA, DE, VA, etc. the same weekend as any show in New England, most of the vendors opt for those larger shows (Harrisburg allegedly has >1200 tables/show). Gun List and Shotgun News list most shows so you can see who/where the "competition" is located.

I'm hoping to make it there on Saturday, if the back will let me I mite be able to help you for a few hours.
Are you going to have GOAL stuff for sale there (stickers, shirts) ??? Is there any way you could have a few NES stickers there also, please, please .
NES Stickers = Possibility (working on it)
Please try to save some for the Sunday crowd.
Bring me an Iced coffee regular..... Ill make sure I split them in half so there are some for both days.....But that is on a possibility if I can get them.
I am still waiting for my LTC in the mail. Can anyone tell me if it be of any benefit for me to go this year, or should I wait for the next one. I will be at Smith and Wesson shooting with my son on Sunday si it's pretty close.
December 12 & 13 Harrisburg, Pa., 1200 tables Farm Show Complex, 2300 North Cameron St., 17110. Interstate - 81 exit 67 Cameron St. south to Farm Show Complex on right. From Pa. turnpike ( I - 76 ) exit 247, follow I - 283 north to I - 83 north to I - 81 south to exit 67. No great buildup needed for this show. It has become the largest show of its kind in the east. None bigger or longer established. Our usual offerings, plus an open invitation to REMINGTON, COLT, SMITH & WESSON, and Antique rifle and pistol (including Pennsylvania & Kentucky rifles) collectors WORLD WIDE to display or sell. Special display tables will be available and cash awards will be offered for the best educational display. A diverse show offering a variety of antique, modern, and military guns, knives and military collectibles and supplies.
To MrsWW, I am not trying to dis the show this weekend, just a heads-up that due to competition, don't be surprised if many "usual" vendors aren't there.
Just spotted this on ARfcom and posting it here so that folks expectations aren't set too high.
Many gun show vendors are really small shops and thus they don't have personnel or inventory to "spread around" by attending two or more shows on the same weekend. Given competition, they choose the show that will likely give them the most revenue for their efforts, and we shouldn't blame them for that decision.
It happens. I am just hoping that the guy with all the various magazines shows up. I needs some.
If the vendor you're looking for doesn't make it, try Guns & Gun Parts in W. Springfield. He may be at the show, as well. He has an interesting assortment of magazines.
