I'll be at the Artisans Fair. Bushy Run is a bit too far but hope to make the Bedford show

I've always wished that they had some sort of "blanket sale" at the Artisan's Show. I know that it's winter and it would be uncomfortable outside, but does anyone know if it would be acceptable to set up with some gunstock material in the back of your pickup in the parking lot? I'm guessing probably not, but I think it would be a service to all who attended and was curious if anyone has done anything like that. Obviously I have a few stocks and I'm not wanting to hurt the vendors who make a living doing this or who pay for their tables inside.....

The Original Lancaster County Gun Show is Feb 3 & 4 at the Lancaster Farm Home Center st RT 30 and Rt 72. This show was at ne time mostly muzzle loaders and was called the Lancaster Muzzle loading Gun show a few decades back. About a quarter of the vendors have muzzle loaders. A few originals will be there. When i first attended back in the late 1970's it was 90% muzzle loaders and accessories.

Then the last Saturday of the month is the Columbia Fish and Game Black Powder Open house. http://www.columbiafishandgame.org/id7.html


A few miles south, in mid March is the Original Baltimore Antique Gun Show, which was also at one time mostly muzzle loaders. I did a lot of very profitable horse trading at that show 30 years ago. http://www.baltimoreshow.com/ I once bought most of the original parts I used in my musket repair business at that show.

Some of the folks who set up at Bushy Run also set up at Lewisburg, so not a lot of different folks.
