I was considering it since I’m going to be up in Fayetteville next week but not sure if I want to make the drive as it adds a fair amount of time to my trip.

If you haven't been it's worth the trip one time

Definitely! I’ve been a few times in the past but it’s been 2 or 3 years. There’s used to be a guy, “Ed’s TC’s”, that was a gold mine for TC geeks. Huge selection of barrels at reasonable prices. The last time there I think it was his son or something that was running the booth but he only had a small fraction of the goodies Ed used to bring

How’s the parking situation there?

How’s the parking situation there?

There is plenty of parking space. Transportation is provided to the door.

The walking situation inside is a little congested.

I see they have a November show also Are they both same size and basically the same? I mean, is one bigger or better than the other?

I haven't seen much of interest in the show for me in a long time.

But if anyone is in town and wants to get coffee let me know.

I haven't been there for over 20 years, but it was always the best show I attended. I regularly took a table, along with 3 or 4 of our local club members who also each took a table. We got the same tables each year. The show is too big to carry around guns that you want to sell, you are better off paying for a table to leave the guns on, and walk the show. With 4000 6 foot tables, that's 24000 feet of guns, almost 5 miles.
Always carry a pencil and paper to write down the table number when you see something interesting . Of course the best way is to buy it when you see it, because it won't be there when you get back, or you cant find that table again.
Walking the show will wear you out, and having a table to go back to means that you have a chair waiting for you. There is no place to sit down except at your table. ( back when I went, you had to get the chairs from racks along the walls on set up night, and the chairs always ran out.)
