Besides the whole front room being empty, the spaces between the rows in the main room were wide enough for golf carts to pass each other. To make that much room, more than a few rows of tables had to be eliminated. There were about three tables that were full of shotguns, yup, about three. Paid non-member attendance was much lower than previous years. Many familiar faces were absent. After fifty years for me at this show, I'm afraid it may be the last in this facility. A smaller venue may give it a few more years. There is a smaller building on the property that may be a solution to smaller participation and attendance.
