OK, I checked the calendar at Southeastern Guns & Knives' site and this weekend's Doswell show is still listed.

SGK's gun show is hosted at the Farm Bureau Center at Meadow Event Park in Doswell, VA - a venue far superior to others in the Richmond area. Located next to King's Dominion, the show has struggled to draw an audience out from Richmond and the show calendar was trimmed late last year.

Bottom line, if you dread going to the Dixie Classic because the Showplace is a crowded dump, you will love SGK's Doswell show. It's a large, well-ventilated, well-lit, high-ceilinged, new building with wide aisles between tables and plenty of parking.

Update: "Disaster" is probably not too strong a word for the show's commercial yield. Two dealers I spoke with were stunned at how few people showed up, and how few of those people were there to spend money. It's hard to see how SGK can keep running the show if it doesn't draw a crowd.
