...Gun Show next weekend Oct. 4th & 5th...Columbia City..fair grounds on U.S.30.......I'm hoping to make this one, been almost 2 yrs since I've been to a show due to work sched and previous other commitments..................

Did you catch the last show at the Coliseum...?????

[JReed]

I missed the show at the Coliseum when was it? I will try to make it on sunday. What day are you going to be there?

[Mokwaw]

Going to try for Sunday early afternoon, after church. Have a commitment on Saturday.


The Coliseum show was Sept 13-14...I was working couldn't make it.

[JReed]

PM sent. Any other Hoosiers in the Ft. Wayne area gonna be there sunday? I wonder if OD will be working the show.

[JReed]

I just remembered where I was last weekend. I was at Johnny Appleseed last weekend.

[JReed]

Mokwaw I dont think I will be able to make it I have to work tomorrow out at Bailys Harley Davidson and then my honey do list for Sunday is huge.

[Mokwaw]

Well you didn't really miss a lot. First time I've been to this one. I would estimate a 100 table show. Mostly guns and related stuff only about 10-15 tables of the "flea market" stuff. But it was a good way to spend a couple hours. Seen one Win. 94 in 30-30, made 1951 emaculate condition $860.00...one Marlin 336 in .35 Rem in average cond for $350.00 and one Marlin 336 30-30 in average cond for $380.00. Think there were maybe 3 Marlin 39's in various cond all were well over $300.00. That was about it for lever guns. Lots of Belgium Browning A5's all running the gamut from well used to almost perfect with prices to match. Lots of mil surp rifles and handguns, and black rifles. About the only thing that really had my interest was the Win. 94 since it was made the year I was born, but it was way too rich for my pocket at this time. I don't know if O.D. was working the show or not I haven't met him yet either, I think Eric65 is in this area too, like you suggested maybe we can all meet for breakfast or lunch some where, some time. Will try to catch up with you at another time, couldn't make the Monday morning at your work location, but will try again now that I know where you.

[JReed]

Yep we will have to all meet up. Is there another show at the coloseum this weekend? I have seen a bunch of signs around town but dont know if it was for the show last month or a new one. Did they have any Enfields in decent shape?

[Old Ironsights]

Well, I'm not too far of a drive from FtWayne if somting's happening...

[JReed]

If we can all figure something out. You are more then welcome to come. There is a range here in Auburn that has a 100 yard line from what I have heard and they are open sundays my only day off.

[Old Ironsights]

Can (usually) do. Be good to do a meetup.

[JReed]

Sounds good to me Boss. But we need to figure it out quick before it gets to cold for this California boy.

I'm not aware of a gun show at the Coliseum this weekend,but could be. There are a couple of others things going on though. The Mississenawa Battle of 1812 reenactment is this weekend 10-11-12th near Marion, take I-69 south to SR 218 west then south a bit on SR 15. The other is a Civil War reenactment 10-11-12th near Hartford City, take I-69 south to SR 18 east then south on SR 3 to Hartford City....never been to this one, but the Mississenawa thing is good......if you like period stuff like this. I can't make either one as I'm working this weekend.

[JReed]

I dont think I can make them either. But yes they are having a show at the Coliseum this weekend dont know if I can go on Sunday I may have to do some work.
