The Miami show, was originally at the fairgrounds, went to the convention center by the airport, but returned to the fairgrounds.
Much bigger show than Miramar, I would say 3-4 times the numbers of tables.
I think there has been some shrinkage in the number of tables and customers, probably due to COVID. I know some sellers used to drive down from as far as North Carolina to participate in the shows down here.
The last few shows have been dominated by ammunition sales.
When I went to the last two at the convention center, it took a good 20-30 minutes in line to get in because of all the "social distancing."
Last week's show was pretty good. I got there a little later, there was no line to get in. Kept me occupied for a couple of hours.
However, there is a lot of inflation in entry prices the last couple of years. Prices to get in are in $12-14 dollar range now, and the Fairgrounds shows will require your customers to pay $5 for parking. Not sure if they were charging for parking last weekend, as I went to a strip mall, bought something at a store, ate it, put the bag on the front seat, and then walked about 15 minutes to get into the fairgrounds complex and to the show.
