GUN SHOW 2011

Chillicothe Elks' Gun Show Labeled "Best Ever"

CAPTION: The aisles occasionally were a little crowded during the 9th annual Chillicothe Elks Gun & Knife Show held at the Elks February 12 and 13, 2011, but everyone attending got the opportunity to view the latest in firearms and knives, as well as many historical weapons. The weather outside was wonderful; and everyone was in a great mood. This year's show has been labeled the "best ever" by vendors and attendees alike.

The 9th annual Chillicothe Elks Gun and Knife Show was held February 12 and 13, 2011, at the lodge in southeast Chillicothe and has been labeled by both the vendors who came from all over the Midwest to exhibit their wares and attendees who flocked in to look them over and buy, sell, or trade, as the "best show ever" in the local event's history.

The Elks once again enjoyed a sell-out crowd of vendors, and their tables were crowded with firearms, knives, and other items appealing to outdoor and weapons enthusiasts with the latest in firearms and knives, but also plenty of historical items. Attendees could browse through the many items, many of which are not seen in stores, and buy, sell, or trade, or just enjoy the looking and the "jawing."

The event is a major fundraiser for the community-supporting Chillicothe Elks Lodge, which uses funds raised through admissions, food sales, and table rent to help fund community projects and its scholarship program.
