After reading the Reno Show posts below, I am confused. Which weekend for sure is it going to be held in April?

Hi Dave,

Here is the show link...

http://www.bigrenoshow.com/

Dealer set-up day is Thursday starting at 12 noon. Public days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can buy a $ 50 honored guest pass on Thursday that gets you in on Thursday and the other days as well, but one hour before the public on those 3 days.

Sometimes I am disappointed on Thursday as many dealers set-up and then cover their tables and leave...sometimes I wonder if the $ 50 is worth it or not...

Many dealers/tables vacate and do not seem to be around on Sunday...

There are other, smaller gun shows held 2-3 times a year in Reno by other promoters...but the link, above, is for the Big Show where most of the LF members meet and get together.

We hang out at Russ Withem's tables A-13/A-14...they have locator maps at the entry doors.

Social dinner get togethers usually happen on Friday night.

Regards,

Pete...

Thanks Pete. I read the posts in the other and there were 2 dates. So, I wasn't sure which it was. I am planning on going, now. I'll bookmark the site you listed. Thanks again for the clarification.

I look forward to meeting some of you there. I understand Jan Still will be there and I would like to meet him also. Anyone know what table he will be sitting? I consider myself lucky that I live only a hour away.

Ed will be suppling the booze and broads!!

Like the hooker that walked up to the old gent and asked, "How about some Super Sex?" The old fella looked at her wistfully and replied,
" I believe I'll have to take the soup."

yes, I'll take the soup too.

I can supply the booze, I'll sneak it into the restaurant, cuz I'm cheap
