I've got a few pictures from Eric to share.

Here's the outside of the building.

This is the basic inside view of tables from a past show set up. The stuff shown is auction items we had on consignment.
The gray doors on the left are his/hers restrooms. I have about 90+ tables and 120 chairs.

Here is a view of the camping area next to the lake which is next to the Expo. The dam of the lake is the walkway for campers to get to the Expo and shooting area. In the last picture overlooking the Dam, the west side of the Expo building can be seen.....these are pics I just took the other day. Everything would be nice and green by May. There is a walking trail around the lake too. We have a camp fire ring lakeside at the camp sites. The dam can be the firing line for all shooters. It overlooks a field with maybe 300+ yards clear..??

Pictures are visible now.

Mosin Marine · « **Reply #126 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:47:34 AM »

Any pictures of where we will be shooting?

Privateer · « **Reply #127 on:** February 02, 2018, 01:31:08 AM »

I believe the area near the top of the lake is the dam.

Thanks Jeff. I held off posting pictures because no decision has been made yet. We're still working out the details. We're trying to negotiate a combined event with the RFC folks to have a show at the same time. And also looking into combining events with the Malvern airgun show. So, there's lots to still discuss before committing.
I've also polled our vendors to see if they will make the journey to set up. I really need to hear from them, it is a major factor in moving forward with this venue.
Teresa and I plan a road trip next weekend to meet Eric and talk logistics.
More coming soon....

LOL
Not gonna put that many miles on Black Beauty Mark. But would make for an interesting drive. Turn a few heads I bet. LOL
Cost a small fortune in petrol too.

Teresa and I plan on making the drive this weekend to visit with Eric and scope out the location. I'm excited to think of the prospect of having the Malvern airgun show folks as well as the RFC folks there too. It would give us a chance we have never had, to combine some events to all of our benefit!!! And also spread the word about modern airguns and the benefit of being part of the best forum family on the interweb.
I realize this would be quite a drive for many. But every event we have had will always pose a long drive time for some. I have made the 9-10 hour drive one way for a few years. Now that I am having to be the head muckidy muck, I want to 1) find a place suitable for a shorter drive time for me & Teresa and 2) try to make it more central so more folks have access to it. Horseshoe Bend, AR is getting as close to central USA as we have ever had before.

I really hope you will consider or reconsider attending if this winds up being our new venue. It's quite difficult to find a suitable location to fit our needs but there are some out there. We just need to brainstorm, research and find them. Will post back after our visit. Sorry for the delay this year!!!

Looks like it is about the same as last year for me. I just need to know where and when for sure.

I have to ask for permission from SWMBO. End of the school year is a tough time when there are tasks that if I do not do I get tied to the whipping post.

We may be the Best Western Roundy's this year. LOL
I'm looking at motel/hotels in the area and trying to get us a group discount code. Will see....and will personally scope them out this weekend too.
