100% right about the lighting. Bring a flashlight. Yes, I'm serious.Not a fan multiple rooms lot of antique guns if that’s your thing. The lighting is terrible in that venue.
Bt's is closed til Tuesday the 11thfwiw, I like this show. not usually terrible busy(people there perusing) so I don't find Im saying excuse me and snaking through the crowd which is nice. Unless the place/building in Sturbridge has another even on the grounds going on in one of their other rooms, parking is more than ample as well as free. you see a decent amount of shops from central MA showing up. the place is usually light on ammo vendors, only one I believe, so unless it's something you 'need' or is 'special or odd' I usually just buy elsewhere like TSUSA! There is TWO (2) rooms at this show. I capitalized it as sometimes people don't realize this and leave without seeing it. for the money, like 11 bucks, I'd be mad if I missed a room too. believe you can print a dollar off coupon from the promoters website, or bring the mailer card if you've signed up for them and receive it.
This show isn't terribly far from me, although the west Springfield show is closer I usually prefer this one over that, for a few reasons. Marlboro I don't usually bother with even though it is a good show just because of the distance I have to drive, so this is kinda my yearly gun show fix. Sturbridge is a nice back roads ride for me from where I live. maybe 35 40 minutes although the lsat few years Ive went it was snowing that day so perhaps a few minutes longer. I always either stop at the hotdog place(it is very small in the corner of the adjacent building) in the plaza next to where the show is(behind mc ds). or I will stop at BT's smokehouse. they are great barbecue, and if I don't find anything at the show, going to BT's makes my whole trip worthwhile anyway. Treehouse brewing is up the street in Charlton, so for you craft brew drinkers this can really be a nice day trip. Gun show to brewery and then to BT's. likely gonna be my schedule for this Saturday! BT's is byob, you see a lot of treehouse in there being drank. their for is amazing. usually a small wait but so worth it. if you can time it non peak hours when you're leaving the show and not right at lunch you're gtg. sorry for long winded response. now I really can't wait for Saturday! myself and fellow new member 351ltd will be attending. if anyone wants pm me and we can exchange #'s and maybe grab a bite or just meet face to face at the show and say hello.
happy 2019 everyone
