Press Release 8/10/2020: In a email forwarded to the shows vendors Sunday, 08/09/2020, The Ark-La-Tex Gun Collectors Gun & Knife Show scheduled for Sep 12th-13th, 2020 has been cancelled. in Bossier City, LA. This Bossier City gun show is normally held at Bossier Civic Center and hosted by ArkLaTex Gun Collectors Association. Email Reads: Due to the COVID-19 virus , we want to keep everyone safe. Therefore, we will not have our Fall Show in September. We hope to schedule a show later in the year, if possible. Otherwise the next show will be our Spring 2021 Gun Show. We will contact you via email, mail, and/or phone as to status of our next show. Please be safe and in good health. Thanks, Lamar Romero, Show director While we understand being cautious, other promoters like Sandra Bean of Classic Arms Promotions has gone forward with recent shows, one as recent as July 29th in Gonzales, LA which produced great attendance numbers. She was in a new building with wider isles and more space between the vendors complying with Louisiana Laws. With people being shut in throughout the USA and Stay At Home Orders just now getting relaxed, people are looking for fun, family events to attend. Classic Arms next show will be: August 15th at Lafayette, LA. Sullivan Shows is also looking to return after the recent relaxes in Louisiana Laws and their next show is scheduled for Alexandra, LA on August 22nd. More shows seem to be popping up as more states law relax. I hope ArkLaTex does come back with a Fall Show as many in their area will look for their regular shows to come back. Stay tuned for more and we greatly appreciate you following EveryDay Preppers and hanging in their with us during these unprecedented times. EDP
