Two of the Midwests best antique tackle shows are coming to Michiana this month. Each show can give the beginning collector an opportunity to explore lure collecting as a "Fun Hobby", with little or no cost involved. Both are open to the public.
The Ft. Wayne NFLCC Show will be Oct. 24 from 8 a.m. ñ 1 p.m. at Don Hall's Guest House. 1313 W. Washington Ctr. Rd. The fee is $5. There will be trading in the hotel throughout the afternoon and evening of the 23rd. This is a lot of fun. There will be over 100 tables of fishing collectables for the public to see.
The 2nd annual, Southern Michigan "Hunting and Fishing" Sport Collectible Show will be Oct. 31 from 9-3 at the Sturgis, Mich. VFW Lodge.
The show will include unusual Sport Collectibles such as vintage duck decoys, fish spearing decoys, spears, fishing lures, rods/reels and tackle. There is no admission fee.
Anyone with questions about either show can write Dan Bucha at DBUCHA@yahoo.com or call 269-683-0686.
