Sounds like fun. I wish I was closer to your neck of the woods.

It's awesome it's a huge gun swap meet. It is about 2 square miles of people buying, selling, and trading guns. It's held every year the week before Labor Day. I've been going since I was about 16. You can get some good deals down there if you look hard. I am planning on buying my first AR this year down there. I was going to last year but I didn't know enough about them to make a good decision. Really I still don't know that much but I'm tired of waiting.

The hillbilly social event of the year, right in my backyard.  |

Tagged. I've heard about this event, but never been.
The weekend of Labor Day, Johnstown Ohio has their Swappers Meet which is a coon dog event, with a huge flea market/gun show....sounds similar. It's only 5 minutes from my house and the folks that come there often talk about Kenton but I've never made it there. Got directions, info?? |

I went years and years ago. It was pretty cool, but I haven't been back. I remember a huge flea market and lots of hunting type guns. Reminded me a bit of Friendship, IN and the national shoots there, but more guns for sale at the coon dog trials.

Go to kentonnational.com, they have all the info on the event. I didn't realize that it was the world's biggest flea market. It's August 31 - September 5. It costs like 130 to get a lot and there is a waiting list, but if you go and split the cost between some buddies its a hell of a good time.

Make sure you wear clothes that you dont mind getting muddy. Seems like every year when its Coondog Trials time, it rains. A lot. When we went a couple years back, the muck (yes, MUCK...its not mud) was over 6" deep in most spots, deeper in others. Nice stuff.
Stav, you're not too far from me. I live in Kenton, so the trials is VERY close. Just a couple miles away. |

Where do you shoot at? I'm shooting at the Ada club right now.. It's just a heap of dirt but no one is ever there so I can just do whatever... |

I go down to Bellefontaine. Can only use the range on weekday (waste-of-time trapshoots on the weekends, pretty much all 3 days, EVERY weekend) usually, but there's no one there then anyway, and its about 200m.

I bought my first shotgun there about 20 years ago. I went with a buddy who was a big time gun nut, and I was a gun newbie.
