Sometimes it is. I might be down there looking for some parts or doing some trading.

I'm in the same boat. How does this show compare to something like the Indy 1500? Also if anyone has any good recommendations for restaurants in the area that would be appreciated as I have never been to Lexington before.

Years ago, the Indy 1500 was a great show. I hadn't been there in a while, and went about 4 years ago. The line was wrapped around the building just to enter. Once in, you couldn't move. It was like being packed in a can of sardines. The Fire Marshal should have shut the place down. I'll never go there again.

Yep, I remember those days. Its been years since I've been to the 1500. I just remember as a kid it was the biggest show I had ever seen. I live in Bowling Green now and had never been to the Lexington show. I have the day off so I was thinking of going there Friday evening and spending the night and get to the show early. I guess I was just wondering what to expect. And as usual, always looking for a good meal. Something that's not a chain restaurant.

This show is a drop in the bucket to the Indy 1500. Couple hundred tables is it. Its still guns and entertainment. I have bought some good stuff there before. The Somerset show is honestly better in my opinion. Some of the same people at both. If you are looking to make a trip out of it, save your pennies for the upcoming military show in Louisville on the 24th. National Gun Day on the 4-5th or as usual Knob Creek.
Its going to take about 45 minutes to walk it if you look around. Plenty of other stuff to do if you come to Lex though. |

While an occasional deal can be found at the show it generally sucks. Since Trump won and there is no panic, at least not by Conservatives, there should be surplus items and decent prices on some things. I go just to see what the dealers are displaying, not to buy anything.

The Lex shows are small. I will not go unless I get very bored (and I live 6 miles away).
You might see a good deal on something but I have not seen anything better than average deals for a long time. Now if you are in Lex anyway, and have nothing better to do for a few hours, I would print me out a coupon and go. https://rkshows.com/coupon/ |
