So we drove down saturday....about a four hour drive for us. We were glad the weather was good. I was mildly annoyed the huge Sportsman Show in Harrisburg started on 2-2, as we have always wanted to go..oh well.
I was surprised at how large the show was. Every one of course was friendly and chatty. Of course, this is a hobbyists happy place. It was a great chance to look at a lot of beautiful long rifles and associated crafts , accoutrements and art. We hadnt been to Carlisle before, and were surpised how nice of a down town they had...very old main street, nice surrounding neighborhoods with a lot of restaurants and shops. If we didnt have to get home to take care of the dogs, it would have been easy to spend an overnight and enjoyed the down town, if for no other reason a nice walk on a nice day.
Perhaps in the future we would try to combine it with an overnight and a day at the Harrisburg show.
Of course, the more money you have to spend at a show like this the more fun you have, but I was able to pick up a few nice project horns, a soft case and a few goodies for a good price.
