Heads up!
The Washington Arms Collectors gun show is Oct 13 and 14. We are inviting any era and condition military vehicles to be on display on Saturday the 13th. If you want to also be there on Sunday the 14th, that can be arranged. There are typically 15-20 vehicles there of all types. There will be some assistance with fuel costs, too.
This is always a really fun show and there are thousands (seriously, thousands) of attendees that love to see mil vehicles and chat. Sometimes people mention old military rigs sitting in a relative's barn (woo hoo!).
More info to follow. Just mark your calendars for Oct 13 at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. I am a member of the Washington Arms Collectors and the point of contact for the show. Show opens at 9am. Best to be in position by 8:30.

Additional info: The vehicles will be parked outside, between the BLUE entrance and the main entrance to the big Pavillion. Everyone attending the gun show will have to walk through or past the vehicle display, so be prepared for a heavy turnout. Show goes on, rain or shine. There will probably be parking available on the Fairgrounds for civilian cars towing the classic military vehicles. Any live firearms will have to be empty, no magazine installed, and the action will have to be tied off. This is not a law, it is a private policy of the private WAC organization that is renting the privately held Fairgrounds. It is a strict policy and any violations will be swiftly shown the door. Non-WAC members can purchase items except firearms unless you join up and agree to a WSP background check. The full listing of the Rules of the Road at the gun show can be read at http://washingtonarmscollectors.org/rulesofroad.shtml
We always have a ball at this show. I have met veterans who have arrived and saw the display, only to turn around and go get the kids/grandkids and bring them back to show so they could describe their bygone days in these vehicles. It's nice to be a part of that.
