Muzzle Loading Arms and Pioneer Crafts Show in Monroe, WA March 8 &9, 2008

[El Lobo]

The Cascade Mountain Men are sponsoring their annual black powder event at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds on March 8 and 9. Here is a link to their flyer: [url] http://www.cascademountainmen.com/files/2008show_flyer.pdf[/url]

Anybody ever been? Sounds interesting but it is kind of a long drive from where I live.

El Lobo,
I personally have never been to Monroe,but
have a couple of webb friends that have tables
set up every year and claim it is one the best
shows in that part of the NW.

I go every year. It's about an hour south of me. A lot of custom rifles. Just about anything muzzleloading. I kept my purchases down last year and only spent about
$400. Most of that went to a take down wood stove for my tent. I also bought a knife and a solid brass range rod with an antique porcilin doorknob as a palm saver. I also collect cast iron cookware. Everything I saw was overpriced and in very poor condition for the asking price. If you know your prices, you can do well for the most part. I enjoy the show, It will take you all day. Parking is close to the pavillions the show is in. Last year the Washington Arms Collectors had their show on the other end of the fairgrounds on the same weekend. It made for a long day!

I second JCW's review. Prices are a pain everywhere, I found them no worse and in a few cases better in Monroe, and if you need something that has to do with BP,your chances of finding it are better even than at Friendship.

Wish I could be in Monroe this weekend, visiting Beaverman and others from the forum. But last week's back surgery canceled that option.
