Big Sandy will again hold the Gun show January 27-29.
This January 27, 28 and 29 will be the Fifth Annual Gun and Ammo show held in January in Big Sandy, Montana. It will be held at the Jerry Martin Memorial Hall. Cost to get in the gate is five dollars and that is good for all three days.

Long time dealer Don Foster is being honored. He won't be at the show this year as he is fighting colon cancer. Prayers are with him.
Also the Gun and Ammo show lost a friend when Dick Tyler passed away last fall.
It has not been decided yet who will benefit from some of the proceeds of the show but someone will. The first two years some proceeds went to help with local benefits. The third year some proceeds went to the Big Sandy new library. Last year some proceeds went to the Big Sandy food bank.
Various restaurants get very busy during the gun show as the show brings a lot of people into town. The Mint has their Saturday prime rib dinner during the show. Vance Butler said to be sure and let him know if they are going to the prime rib dinner as The Mint can run out if they don't know how many to plan for.
Of course there is free coffee and cookies at the show and donations are always welcome.
