Title: 2020 Shows
Post by: CarlS on January 21, 2020, 11:12:49 PM
Hello,

I've updated our sales web site:
      http://www.bulletandshell.com/Stuff/Shows.htm
with the show list for 2020.  Please check it out.  If you see anything missing or an error I made please let me know.  I'd appreciate any and all input.  And of course we hope to see everyone at a show some time this year!  The shows go a long way to keeping the hobby energized and active as well I think.

Speed,

Thanks.  I was hoping there was an information page or person to contact.  I'll contact the Union Drummer Boy next week if Brendon isn't at the Dalton Show and get some contact information.  Right now the GPBA (who puts it on) doesn't have any information listed other than the dates.

Ok I don't know why I thought The Union Drummer Boy did it.

I'm pretty sure Brendon is a member of GPBA and helps with the show.

I can't believe you are implying I made a misteak!!!   >:(

Actually the number is correct as far as what John Potts gave me and is also listed on the link he provided:
     https://www.brcwrt.com/br-antique--relic-show.html
so it appears something has changed.  Thanks for letting me know.  I've reached out to him to see what is up.

Hello,

I called and spoke with John and the number is correct for the Port Hudson Show.  Not sure what is up.  Perhaps some phone system issue was happening.  Give him a call.  I sure wish it wasn't the same weekend as the Mansfield Show or I'd be there.

Hello,

The Port Hudson Show is actually in Baton Rouge which is not far away from the battle.  It is being put on by the Friends of Port Hudson to raise money to help with needs at the battlefield.  The show date is Saturday, May 2nd.  Tables are cheap and door admission is free.  I'm sure they'll take a donation to the Port Hudson cause if you are so inclined.  They are also hosting a symposium which includes 3 days of speakers (May 1-3, 2020) which looks very interesting.  I have flyers and applications for the show and symposium weekend.  If anyone is interested please contact me and I'll forward the email with them to you.

Yes. Although I've never been, the Mansfield weekend is a bad weekend to have the Port Hudson (Baton Rouge) show.

I told him that was a big conflicted date with one of the biggest shows in the country.   It is so far from Mansfield for any one down there that it is not much of a conflict   People in west Tennessee and as far east as Georgia could pretty easily consider both but it is not likely big enough to attract dealers from much farther than that.   It is convenient to Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas too.  So it appears to be a conflict but not much really.  And it is a one day show.
