Each way, or round trip?

Either way that is a long way to go for a show that is only 150 tables.

I've gone to Morgantown PA shows twice, which is the same vendor, and it was worth it but that was a 2 hour drive each way for a 650 table show.

If you can wait 2 weeks , it looks like they have an Oakes, PA show coming up on the schedule. That is 1500 tables.

Eldersburg to The Poconos +/- for a 150 table show would be a hard pass for me.
As Bullfrog posted, Oaks (west of Philly) is coming up. Oaks is closer and 10x the size.

The wife and kids are going to be at the beach, I will be home with the dogs, so I was thinking possibly find a gun show.

I will just do something else, I was leaning towards no for that small of a show.

Eldersburg to Wind Gap? No way!

I can do MoCo to the Oaks in under three hours, and I'll do that for the big 2,000 table "Guntoberfest." If you do Oaks, I definitely recommend either the PA Turnpike approach or bailing out of I-95 once you cross the Susquehanna. Going near or through Philly is a real time-waster. The Schuylkill Expressway is usually jammed up.

Way. Eldersburg doesn't sit on a major highway. Going North or East you'll go through 20-30 minutes of stop signs and stop lights before you get to one. Plus Wind Gap is much farther North from Oaks than Eldersburg is from most of MoCo, so it's likely a longer drive than your example.

Forget that noise and go to Raleigh.. way bigger show and probably better prices, I found the york Pa show much higher priced , Harrisburg which is a bigger show I think is in a couple weeks. Ammo is way overpriced especially now that it seems to be everywhere online. Just my .02

You can't be serious... that's 335 miles, a 5 hour drive each way, and it's an 800 table show from the references I found (the promoter site doesn't say).

The Oaks show has 1500 tables in August, 2000 in October and in December and is just over 2 hours away.

The prices better be 60% off from PA or better to justify a 670 mile 10 hr round trip.
