Ancient Ones of Maine Outdoor Sports and Gun Show

[Canerod]

Come join us this Feb. 21-22 2009 In the Augusta Armory, on Western Avenue in Augusta, Maine, for our Outdoor Sports and Gun Show. Everything from traditional muzzleloaders, accessories, clothing and such to modern firearms, food snowshoes and collectibles. Just about anything related to this great obsession of ours.

Hours are from 9am-5pm Saturday and 9am-3pm on Sunday. Adults are only $5 and military members and kids are free. Plus there will be live Teepee setup and 'Hawk throwing.

Be sure to stop by my table and say Hi. It'll be the only one with bamboo fly rods, I'm sure.

Swampy's probably seen this one, but here's our very own Gomer with his hot tub video . It was shown on Country Fried Home Videos, so you have some idea of what kind of guy he is.

Lets not forget Gomers redneck turkey cooker either. :haha:

Yeah, he's a little off plumb, but a great guy.

I'm hoping to have see plenty of folks come through the show. It's my favorite one, even if bamboo flyrods and guiding are a little off the norm. I always seem to sell a rod or two and book some trips at it.

[Canerod]

Just a little bump for a really fun show.

[Canerod]

Two more weeks. For you Northeast guys and gals, put this one on your calendar.

I would like to know how big is this show? Say compared to the regular DiPrete Gun Show that is held in Augusta. Thanks.

I have a couple of items I'd like to see if I could sell.

 

[Canerod]

Not sure, I've never been to the diPrete show, but if you've ever been to the Armory, we fill it up, even out to the entryway. It's a good show with a nice mix of BP, cartridge guns, and almost everything else you can think of. Leather companies, blacksmiths, snowshoe makers, Eastern Maine Muzzleloading usually has patches at a good price, guides, Maine Powder House, just about anything and everything. Even bamboo fly rods :grin:

Hope to see you there this weekend, just look for the rods and you'll find me.
