well based on what was said at the MACA meeting last Friday, the 900 tables are all sold with a waiting list, so it will be a great show folks, not to be missed

Unfortunately Bill Ricca will not be attending.

(From Milsurps.com)

Bill's wife, Sue, contacted the club today to let us know Bill had passed.

Rest in Peace Bill.

Obituary https://www.tributearchive.com/obitu...illiam-j-ricca

William J. Ricca, 77, of New Tripoli, PA, passed away on February 7, 2023 in Topton Lutheran Home, Topton, PA. He was the husband of Suzanne T. Miller for the past 39 years. Born in Brooklyn, NY, he was a son of the late Joseph and Evelyn (Mirto) Ricca. Bill was a decorated Vietnam War Army Veteran, having received a bronze star with valor, a purple heart, and a national defense service medal.

Bill graduated from Rutgers University, NJ, with a BA in Business Administration. He later went on to own and operate William J. Ricca Surplus Sales, specializing in military collectibles. He was a member of St. Peter’s (Lynnville) UCC Church. Bill was a past president of Forks of the Delaware Historical Arms Society, Easton, PA, and a former Director of Garand Collectors Association.

Survivors include his loving wife, Suzanne; brother, John (Nancy) Ricca of Gettysburg; Carol Ricca wife of Howard Low of Marlton, NJ; and many friends. There will be a memorial service held at a later date. Private interment, with military honors, at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville, PA. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a way to honor Bill’s memory would be to spend some time talking with a veteran.

to bring a firearm for sale, do you carry it on your shoulder as you walk from table to table?

I went last year for the first time. I was overwhelmed. Definitely going in March.

I made a new thread for the show this year so nobody gets confused about the date.

Yup,
they'll check you at the door to make sure it's not loaded and put a zip tie on the action.
What do you have to sell?

Second year in a row we have a camping trip. Maybe I can convince the wife to come home early Sunday since that's pack up day anyways and we are only in Woodbine for the trip
