Since the earlier thread went sideways and got locked I’ll followup here with a 2.0.
Some observations:
1. The new venue was very fine with plenty of free parking.
2. Attendance seemed strong but either the aisles were wider or there were fewer people because it was easier to move about and certainly more room for the walkers/rollators.
3. It appeared that all 800 tables were booked.
4. Saw lots of cash changing hands.
5. Overheard one out-of-state vendor lamenting that this was their last trip to CO because of the new 3 day waiting period hurdle. (Saw a TV ad here last week for a politician declaring that when elected he is going to move it to a 10 day waiting period.)
6. Didn’t seem that the crowd was any younger or more diverse. (How does this compare to shows in your area?)

I was there on Saturday, if only to drop-off a gun with a vendor. I see it as yet another example of how Colorado is changing (& not for the better IMHO). It illustrates both a demographic and a generational shift away from more-traditional, more agrarian and perhaps more-conservative values to something resembling say....California. Gun shows here have moved from high-density (& high-profile) Denver to a much lower-density and a lower-profile place (Greeley). It also represents a state that has gone from mostly Red (when I first got here in the middle 80s) to more Purple (in the 2000s) to now an almost bright Blue, with full Democrat control over the House, the Senate, and the Governors Mansion. Even lowly Colorado Springs (the last bigger & mostly-conservative Colorado city, long a Republican stronghold) now has a Democratic mayor (the 1st one in something like 41-years). Demography is indeed destiny and...Colorado is now effectively run by a one-party political system (the Republican Party here is remarkably useless and shockingly-ineffective, it makes one wonder about who is really running it?). If history repeats itself (here, as it has elsewhere), things will really start to change now, and much more-rapidly. This will likely get this thread locked, so my apologies up-front for that.

I had a great show, good sales, bought one, traded for one and caught up with old friends. Smaller than pre-covid, a bit farther drive for me as well. I just put my deposit down on two tables for next year.
