Default Lethbridge Gun Show 2014

This years show is Feb 1-2....

I usually make a round through there, might run into something unique or a decent deal.Would be nice if all the antiques and junk could be in a separate building from the gun's and stuff.

Can anyone pass on the shows;
- exact location, times, etc.

- vendor contact person as I have a friend wanting to set up a table

And on a side note; a list of all the 2014 Alberta gun shows. I went on-line and there is a site but only lists a few of them I know there are more.

Thanks

Default retraction!

Just got back from the show. I stand corrected! They have drastically improved the lighting from previous years. Kudos to the organizers/management.
The show was wall to wall people. Instead of getting better as the day wore on, there was actually more people as the day progressed! Not too many arts and crafts dealers, just a few tables selling preserves.
The usual high price dealers, and a lot of odd and unusual that you wont find on your regular sporting goods store shelves! Always good for an outing.
Came home with a little stevens falling block 22lr, with two barrels. Unique. Came with vintage scope in side mount on one of the two barrels, the other was octagonal with open sights. should be a great single-shot starter for the grandkids. Quality that has stood the test of time, and will likely still be in good condition for their kids. Finds like this keep me going back to the gun shows.
