Winter Relics show -Orlando Fl. info. needed

broomhandle · 12-05-2004, 01:10 PM

HI All,
Have any of you attended the
Winter Military Relics show in Orlando Fl.? This one will be held Feb. 5-6 at the Bahia Shrine Auditorium in Maitland Fl.

I'm in Augusta Ga. and need to know if it's worth the trip? I'm intrested in Lugers and C-96s mainly.

Thanks for any help,
broomhandle

Broomhandle,
Yes I have been there, not worth the drive for me and I'm only 2 hrs away. Lots of Military stuff, not that many guns that I saw anyway.

Hi All,
Thanks for the quick reply,I guess i'll save up and wait for a better show.
Do any of you know of any good ones coming up in the south east.
I go to the Atlanta Ga. shows,Savanna Ga.,Columbia SC& north to Charlotte NC

The ones at the Morrocco Shrine Hall and the Osbourne are OK. Both big city shows. Cover the whole spectrum. Stay in St. Augistine. Wife shops at outlet mall on 95. You get to go to show in Jx. Or golf at the various locations. The golf locations are more central. I prefer St. Augistine, along the waterfront. If you give her a carriage ride she will be OK with your borchart purchase! You can't let her off at the mall and go to the show. It will cost more than the borchart! Go Friday afternoon, do dinner and stuff, walk around Sat. morn and go to outlet in afternoon. Hit the show Sun. Best deals and you will be gold with the Wife.

G.W. Gill,

You must be close by, perhaps we could meet for a cup of coffee sometime and share a few stories.

Send me a pm

Hi G.W.Gill,
The shows you mention are in or near St.Augistine(sp)?
Can you send the dates of the next shows.or a website for the group running it.

We are slated to go to a bed and breakfast place there called "Our House" on Cincinnati ave
(St. Augistine(sp).
My pal could not say enough nice things about it.

I'm sure,I can happen to pick a weekend when a show is in town!
Shopping the malls on 95 It's just MAGIC to the Queens ears!

Thanks for all the help,
broom

St. Augustine is about an hours drive from downtown Jax. I think if searched Prime Osbourne convention center you would find a schedule, also morrocan shrine auditorium (smaller). I will keep an eye out for billboards! The CADA show at the Tupperware Headquarters in Orlando is my favorite.
