I go to the 1500 simply because I still enjoy going. Same reason I go to the Dog 'n Suds on a Saturday night.

If you don't want to go, then don't; but why start a thread blasting it? As you can see, most of us enjoy going. -- Greg

Myself and the Mrs went once a couple of years ago. I sold two guns (Beretta 40 Cal & a Bersa 380 Plus) purchased one (S&W 442) and walked out with a little over $400 in my pocket. I would call that a good day at the show.

It was a great time, but kind of a cattle call. I just wish it was held in a larger space. I must say though that the crop dusting was quite overwhelming a couple of times...

At the time, I wasn't part of INGO so I didn't stop at the booth, but if we go again that will be an added bonus. Took some of the money we made and stopped at Santorini's in Fountain Square on the way home. Made for a nice day.

my favorite 'after show' activity is visiting the old Hooks Drug store which takes me back to my youth. Very well done if you haven't visited.

I take my 8 year old son, he listed it as his favorite thing to do with dad on a school project. Even if I do not buy anything, memories are worth it.
