I can remember-- not in the too distant past, that the two Virginia promoters listed above sent postcards to attendees that read "guns and related items only". Now, one has to look hard to find anything of interest.
The result?--attendance is sparse, quality dealers don't show and what they display is largely laughable, entrance fees are up, and the promoters try to make up lost revenue by renting tables to anyone who thinks that their display might sell something. These promoters created their downfall because of greed.
