If anyone cares to meet up @ that show, on Sat morning, it'd be brilliant to meet a fellow NES-er, if you care to meet me to find out what is a Green_Manelishi.

Sturbridge MA show, January 2018
- Thread starter Green_Manelishi
- Start date
I do not know, but why would a resident of NH drive all the way to the center of the Commywealth to attend a gun show where almost everything is viewed as evil?
It was a rhetorical question, more or less. I live in a part of NH that has me working in the Berkshires/Greenfield area from time to time. A deal on reloading brass knows no bounds, even in the People's Republic Of Massachusetts.
Answer: Peter Green. He founded the band, "Fleetwood Mac", and also wrote the well known tune "Black Magic Woman". PG is THE MAN.

Best place to eat lunch afterwards is the McD's. Or grab a 6-pack from the packie next door for the drive home. Don't bother with the BBQ place. . . until after I get there and get my order in. Go with McD's. LOL

That BBQ place is garbage. It should be avoided at all costs...
I really don't understand what you guys see in BT's. I can make better pulled pork in my crockpot. But I will be there... with pulled pork..
I don't know the cost, but it's close enough to where I am staying that it's worth a visit and there are $1 off coupons available on line. Probably nothing special, but neither am I, and there is nothing specific I am seeking. It'll be some time out from the house.
I won't. I ate there once, and was sick soon after.
Chances are you won't find those things there anyways. Last year it was mostly antique muskets and Chinese knifes. I didn't see anything reloading related.

What a coincidence. Same with me. I couldn't even finish my meal.
So is there anyone been to one of this company's shows and has a clue about the admission price? Sure, you can find "$1 off" coupons on their website, but I'd rather not drive an hour to find it's a dollar off some really stupid price.
Since it is one of Carole's shows, the going rate last year was $12 regardless of how big or small the show is. I'm sure that for 2018 she probably raised the gate fee again, so you might expect $13 this year.

Note there is no price-of-admission, that I can easily locate, on the website.
Up to a tenner I'd consider it, because it's close enough, but more than a tenner? I doubt it.
I don't think that she ever advertised the price. Last year it was $12 ($11 with discount coupon from her site). One thing that you can be sure of . . . it won't be any lower than $12.
Aye, well, when I consider how infrequently I actually leave the house to do anything/go anywhere, it might be a passably enjoyable waste of money, and if it sux then I shall never, ever, return.

Not worth the gas to get there IMHO... let alone the entrance fee. I stood in line there once for what seemed like forever in the bitter cold and wind. Never again. Not for a show that small and in such a poor venue. Marlboro is on the 27th & 28th. I can wait.
