I stopped being a vendor at the Ogden show six years ago - and I live in Ogden.
That one's in a downward spiral. Fewer buyers means fewer vendors come (good ones, that is). Fewer good vendors mean fewer buyers come. And so it goes.
Last weekend I went to the Big Reno Show. They have a waiting list for new vendors. It's a product-limited show: you can only display guns, gun-related stuff or individually approved items of "other" like artwork, fishing, etc. No Tee shirts, no jerky, no war surplus, no cell phone or dish network sellers. 900+ tables of gun stuff.
And they had 8,000 people through it on Friday alone.
That's a gun show.
