Is this weekend.
Address is 220 north Pine,Arcola, ILL,61910
for those who mapquest.
Have not been to this one yet,Has anyone else?
The show this weekend is at Tuscola at the Community Center not at Arcola.Usually a pretty decent show.I believe Bryan has a show scheduled in Arcola at the end of September.I haven't done any shows since March but most of the fellows I know have reported that things have been slow this summer,which is true for summer shows in this area.Wish I could go but I'm tied up for this one.

You are correct, it is at the Tuscola CC. I gave the address of the sponsor.
Thank you for the save. I do not have a street address, but it could not be to hard to find.
He always has a sign out on Route 36 at the street you need to turn north on,I think it's S.Main St.There's a stop light there on the west side of town on 36.
Go North on Main Street from Route 36 at the West stoplight in Tuscola. Cross the railroad tracks and make an immediate left. Go one block and the community building is on your right.

LOL Thanks Tigercat,been over there so often I'm on auto-pilot and can't remember the streets.
Not so good. Only 12 dealers,room was only half full.
Even the food was only so-so.
But, my kids got some quality high way driving in, and I found a AR15 fore end(shorty)with a rail on it for $10 + 20 in diesel.
Had been there before though, just been to so many lately I can't remember
which was which.
I was going to go but too busy.Don't sound like I missed much.Not a lot of money floating around in this area and I know several that have quit doing shows because they didn't get their money back on the tables let alone make any.Two dealers have quit because they are afraid of running afoul of the ATF after they has inspections.
I used to love gun shows when stuff was plentifull and affordable. Just not too enjoyable anymore. I don't expect people to give stuff away, but sometimes it's ridiculous. I went to the New Berlin show and mabe spent 30 minutes in there. Hardly worth the three dollar entry fee.
I meandered over to the Arcola show today. When I pulled into the lot I thought maybe it had been canceled as I was like car #4 in the lot. Several tables were empty as well so guys either didn't show or left already.
Myself I always felt people attended the shows looking for a deal. There has been nothing of the sort for a long time. You know its really bad when the prices at Dicks and Gander are a bargain compared to the gun shows.
I had figured on making the trek to Belleville next weekend but talked to a guy last weekend and he said things are as bad there as anywhere else, nutsoid prices and no one buying.
