The last couple of years at Hopkins in Maryland there was no fee charged just to come and browse the vendors. Years ago at Sandanonna and I think as recently as Pintail Point they did charge to enter but realized that it upset people. If you were registered to shoot the fee was waived.

Right, same at our recent Annual Meeting at Addieville in conjunction with the Vintagers.

I was wondering if you have to be a member of the Vintagers to shoot at the event?

If there is a fee ….. what's the rationale for random PGCA members getting in free? Almost everyone is a member of one of the exhibiting associations: Fox, Lefever, L C Smith, German Gun Collectors, etc. Should the same benefit apply to their members? At Vintagers events back in the good old days at Pintail Point the table people (3-4) got free badges but that didn't extend to hundreds of members of collector groups.

I'm not connected with the event or the Vintagers principals in any way; I’m just a SxS shooter and gun nut like many here. Let's put this event in perspective. I'm thinking it will be the largest SxS shoot and table exhibition north of the Spring Southern. So you might spend a few extra bucks to split a golf cart with your buddy; that will get you easy access to/from the parking area and around the courses and tents. Entrance fee (if any) can't be that much and I doubt it’s a make or break for almost all of us. Are you going to cancel out going because the setup is different and a little more expensive than the Hidden Hollow June shoot? Not this guy.

It wouldn't prevent me from attending, but just for the record, Frank, the cart rental is more than double Addievilles rate, at a few bucks shy of $200.

It would be nice to get confirmation of any shuttle arrangement and the details of how it will run.
