    It's always usually a pretty good show, the wife and I will be there Sat. am. The breakfast buffet next door is not to bad either.

    No big dealers, little new stuff. No jerky, candy, eyeglass cleaners:)
    Great for parts, non-common guns, less common ammo and some reloading stuff.
    They expanded it a bit last year. Free parking and $3 admission.

    Not a huge show but seems sellers are motivated cause it is only 1 day... I've found deals and traded etc. several times.. And on a side note Lots of Amish with decent Bankrolls...LOL.

    Nappanee Gun Show, More tables this show!

    The Nappanee Show is a good Show. So, I agree with marcum man and red_zr24x4 on this. I feel it is well worth the $3 admission.:yesway:
    I was told that Gerald removed the stage, which give the building more usable floor space for tables. I do not know the exact table count, but heard it is close to 300 now. Like swissrifles1 and BluePig have said "sardines" is correct.

    It is a one day show on Saturday only.
    Gonna be there with the rest of the sardines.

    Yes, I will be there too!:)

    It is much closer to 300 tables than another promoter that calls all of his shows 500 and has fewer than Nappanee and has 6 foot tables.

    There you are.
    I have been there the last three years in the fall. My favorite show. My girlfriend goes and hits the antique mall next door, then we go to the restaurant in the huge barn down the road. We make a day of it. Always find something there. Lots of older stuff, and more gun oriented.

    I went, after picking up a delicious Starbucks, around 3:00. The crowd was small and I could get around easily. Found a S&W 67-5 carry comp in great condition. Me very happy :)

    Well the show was another good time, but I have to say after 10:00 UGH!. Sardine city. I do hope they can find a bigger location soon ,as it has grown every year. Will keep going back, as it is worth it.
