I personally would not drive 3 hours round trip for this show
This^^^
Marlboro is next week I think so I would just wait and go to that if you want to go to a show.
Waitwhat???? A double-Marlboro Winter??? Or do you mean Plymouth? Plymouth is the 23rd.
then swing by Springfield Armory Museum.. such a fascinating place..

Used to be that that Springfield show was the be-all-end-all for us here in CT since there were so few other shows. They regularly had about 1000 tables, too and I had my C&R and would browse to see if there was anything new I could buy. Now they're down to 700 with a bunch of those tables being taken up by the "Winchester Club Display". Don't get me wrong, I love Winnies but I'd prefer vender tables.....not that I can buy much anyway. Being from Connecticut all we can typically do is browse, buy literature and jerkie and that's hardly worth the parking cost and the $12 entrance fee.
If any of you ever get a chance to visit Louisville, KY on NGD (National Gun Day....no kidding). Last time I went they had over 3000 tables and reenactors dressed like Patton and other famous WWII heros. ! That's a gun show.

Was At the big e last weekend for sportsman show and they had huge signs saying no firearms allowed on the fairgrounds wtf?
The only reason to go to this show is you live close to it. Or you have friends out there you're planning to hang out with after or something. Otherwise its an (expensive) waste of time. (getting charged for parking? wtf?)
Back in the day, around 1988/89 or so, this show used to be a big deal , now its a rotting hulk of its former self. Hell the building they put it in, the show only takes up like half the building,
