Does anyone know if there are any attendance restrictions? Masks? Distancing?

I tried emailing them a couple of times, but here was no response.

Thanks.

I don't see any hard requirements on the event listing or on the Hilton Hotel website. I figure they'll just follow the restrictions as dictated by the government at the time the show is held. Right now you don't need a mask for events or limiting number of attendees (social distancing). The website for the "Nations Gun Show" which usually does list current restrictions does not list any for the November gun show.

Now a days I always have a package of masks in my glove box anyways, just in case.

I'd say the show was a success Lots of vendors and materiel. A decent flow of people through the vendor areas. About 30-40% wore masks. I talked to some dealers I had not seen for years. Princes were good over all and I bought a few needed items and a box of misc stuff. This time there was no auction.

Thanks for the show report.

Very much enjoyed the show - exhibits were great to see and I learned more than a few things from them - dealers were plentiful and glad to see us collectors although many also shared complaints about the venue's rates. Saw some new dealers and many long-time "suppliers" for my habit. And, as usual, Brian Engler of Engler Stamps, showed me some interesting stuff about PNCs. First time hearing of, let alone seeing, a skip plate number. ALMOST as good a show as Westpex was. Really glad to have in person shows in action.

Sorry for the typos in my previous message. I managed to cut the end of my thumb while slicing onions yesterday and cut about 80% through the tip! The other fingers just don't want to cooperate when the thumb is out of commission.

I would like to echo the comments about the exhibits. Some very good work was presented. Although no auctions were on the slate both Dutch Country and HipStamp showed up with booths. gotta admit, those HipStamp people know how to recruit sales people.
