We're discussing moving the Izaac Walton League of Harford County's Belair Gun Show to a new location.
The show's been held in Bel Air for 63 years, the proceeds go to the IWLA HCo. scholarship fund to help students pursuing careers in conservation.
We're looking for a larger venue. The problems we need to overcome are the many steps at the Armory, the parking situation in Bel Air and more table space.
We're considering relocating to the Jarrettsville Fire Company Hall and keeping the same dates, Super Bowl weekend in February.
Considering a name change to HarCo Sportsman Show for a few reasons. One is we would no longer be in Bel Air. We want to maintain the Gun Show theme and we want a quality GUN show with NO jerky, jewelry, T-shirts, fudge but unfortunately some social media platforms don't allow Gun Shows but Sportsman Shows are OK. Archery, fishing, decoys and of course knives, ammo, reloading, etc. can be included.
We need new vendors, for various reasons many of the multi-table holders are retiring from doing shows.
If you have gun stuff you want to turn into $$ then you want to get a table at this gun show.
Gun shops, gunsmiths, engravers, FFL's etc. wishing to do this show will be welcomed and multiple tables will be available.
Other MDS members did very well last year at this show.
We will be contacting previous table holders and welcoming new ones. I'll update this post later with contact information.
What say you, about the name change, new location, attracting new table holders and patrons for a quality show?
