Next weekend is the first of the month again, and time for another Lima gun show. I didn`t see much of the show this month. Befor I got a good start I bought a 243 and another 6-284 and figured I did enough damage to the wallet for 1 trip. I think everyone should meet at Gypsyman`s table and make him buy us all coffie.

Stumpy, tell eye shot the exit number off 75. Or eye shot you could go to map quest and Allen co. Fair grounds.

Theres 3 of us from up near Toledo coming down this weekend , Jedman , Bikerbeans, & Big Dog 454. We are all riding down together and should be there by 10 AM.
We would like to meet any GBO members while we are there, so chime in if your going to be there Saturday, Ill let Bikerbeans try to describe what we look like.......... cause he kinda has a way with words.
I have never been to this show before so let us know where you can be found.

I'll be easy to find. Old guy with a graying beard and oxygen bottle on my back. Also, Jedman & Big Dog are the friendly ones.

eyeshot,

address is 2750 Harding Hwy, Lima, OH. According to Yahoo Maps, take I75 south to exit 125A, go east a short distance then south on Harding Hwy. Looks like the fairgrounds is about 1 1/2 miles from I75.

If you Google "tristate gun show lima" you can find the website for the show.

Location of Gypsman's table?
bikerbeans thanks for the info I'll be there.

gypsyman · « **Reply #8 on:** March 03, 2011, 05:54:53 PM »

Gun show is located at the Allen County Fairgrounds. South bound I75, take exit 125A, east on 33 about a mile. Just past a Walmart on the right, farigrounds on the right. By the sounds of it, I'ld better bring along my perkalator. I'm gonna go broke buying all this coffee.
The show is divided up into 2 buildings. And each building, is seperated by by a wall. So you have 4 area's in the gun show. My table's are located in the northeast section. The best way to find me, is look for the steel targets, especially the cat target. (Always gets the women folk fired up!

) Look forward to meeting you fellas there. gypsyman

I have only been there one other time ( it's a long drive for me ), but I'm planning on being there on Saturday. Don't know any of you guys except lurking on here. Not sure where to stop by and say hello at. Anyway, hope to have a good time looking around. RRM

Catfish · « **Reply #11 on:** March 04, 2011, 01:34:46 PM »

I get there fairly early Sat. morn. and usually gone by noon. I`ll be wearing an NRA hat with membership badges on it and a back pack. I`m an old guy with a beard. AND it`s really 4 buildings, but then Gypsyman is so busy makeing money he don`t get around.

His tables is in the North East building. He`s the guy that looks rich.

gypsyman · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2011, 03:13:47 AM »

Nice to have met you some of you fella's. Look forward seeing some of you at the upcoming Toledo show at the fargrounds, last weekend of this month. gypsyman

bikerbeans · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2011, 03:44:20 AM »

gypsy,

Jedman, Big Dog 454 & myself couldn't find you in Lima last Saturday. Were you hidin' in Catfish's bowl?

BB

gypsyman · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2011, 05:47:03 AM »

The building I'm in, is refered to as building 2. When you walk thru the tunnel between the 2 main buildings, it's the building on the east side of the tunnel. So much depends on where you park. If you park in the east lot, I'll be in the first building you enter, if you park in the west lot, I'll be in the building after you walk thru the tunnel. gypsyman

I met him, he's a real nice fellow. Easy to spot. He's the guy with the big grin and the Ben Franklins sticking out of his pockets. RRM

bikerbeans · « **Reply #17 on:** March 09, 2011, 03:00:41 PM »

RRM,

How many of those Franklins used to belong to you?

Gypsyman,

I really NEED one of your metal cat targets as my wife will not let me shoot her barn cats.

Bikerbeans, I was all over the place, only way to find the bargins.

I covered the whole show and was out of there by 10:30.

jedman · « **Reply #19 on:** March 11, 2011, 01:46:35 AM »

We were in the show by about 9:45 and was looking for ya Catfish. I had some 284 Win. brass for you, we made it to the building where the food is served by about 11 and Eyeshot found us.
We kept looking for Gypsymans tables but didnt find him either, we did have a good time there and Big Dog went home with a rifle he found at the show.
We also stopped in Findlay and went to Jaquas Guns to take a look at them expensive guns.
Great Time !! Jed
