Dakota Arms Show, Sioux Falls Feb. 11&12

We did the Sioux Falls show with the Lee Straight Pull display as promised, and we won 'Best of Show'. The excellent crowd was knowledgeable and appreciated our display. When we got there at noon on Friday it was 5 degrees with 30 mph winds. Almost unbearable. It was a good time visiting with friends from Sioux Falls, Minnesota, Colorado and elsewhere. I am not posting a photo because I forgot to take one. It is the same display as we took to other shows so page down to see it. We are headed to Louisville this coming weekend just to attend the show, and visit with the family. Then we will stay home building our new Winchester Hotchkiss display for the shows in May.

LONG OVERDUE UPDATE

Friends,

I just realized that I did not post the results of our Dallas display last August. Well, we did not win a thing but had a great time with some old friends. Dallas, as usual, was very hot.

This year (2012) we are displaying in Sioux Falls, SD Feb. 11 & 12, OGCA May 5 & 6, Denver May 19 & 20, and Cody WY at the WACA show July 6,7 & 8. We are doing the Lee Straight Pull display in Sioux Falls, a new Winchester Hotchkiss display featuring a rare prototype, our normal display of Service issues with some special additions, and some civilian models including sporting models at OGCA and Denver. Probably the Hotchkiss display in Cody too. Come see us and introduce yourself.

This year October 27 & 28 the Winchester Arms Collectors will be having a show in conjunction with and as guests of the Ohio Gun Collectors show in Cleveland. It should be a great show.
