is there a replacement so to speak? i heard there was but dont know anything else. or any others in the northwest region? please let me know where and when. thanks in advance.

I think there is going to be one at the Lima fair grounds but only for 2 days.  I just can't understand why they would cancel the coon dog trials.  Those people had to make a killing off of renting out the land.  It just doesn't make sense.

what is the date? i would like to go as i need some magazines and such. if you could post the dates that would be great! thanks.

I think its next weekend Saturday and Sunday.  If I hear anything else I will let you know.

Is this supposed to be a good turnout? I'm planning on going how about you guys?

from the reading i have been doing, it has exploded in size. they were not expecting a whole lot of tables being rented and i read there are now over 400. i will be going at least saturday. i have been hearing through word of mouth that alot plan on going. we will see...

I'm going!

Just went today and this thing was huge!!!!!!  It filled the enitre fair grounds.  They had vendors inside the goat barns, rabbit barns, everywhere.  It was packed.  Definately worth the time.  

I went there today and I thought it sucked big time!  Every gun was at least $200 over priced and there wasn't really any guns I was interested in.  If you are looking for some used tires or or some china made knives then I would say that is your place other than that don't waste your time.

Talked to my neighbor who went. He said the place was packed and prices were decent to good

My buddy goes camping at the Kenton coon dog trials every year.  He went to Lima last night to camp till Monday.  He is on his way back home now 1pm Sunday.  I hit all the gun shows around here and this Lima thing sucked.  I don't know how anybody could think any different unless they never went to the Kenton Coondog Trials.

No one was comparing it to Kenton Trials but from everyone I talked to it was a decent show and good size

SUCKED!!!!!!!!!

Waaaa!!!! Sniff Sniff

It still sucks!!!!

I thought the same thing about Kenton when I went.Looked like garages and barns were shoveled out.Gun prices were high for what little I saw that was worth buying.

I went on Monday. The place was dead and mostly empty. Apparently when the rain started on Sunday night (and was expected to continue on Monday) a lot of the vendors pulled out.

The vendors I talked to said it was packed on Saturday and Sunday and they would be back next year.
