Lost another show

The first time I heard that the old WalMart store was being sold was in relationship to my favorite gun show. Bob Pope's gun Shows were the largest of central Tennessee gun shows.

Last month Bob Pope's show moved.

Bob Pope's Nashville Area Shows are held at the Williamson Country Agriculture Expo Park, 4215 Long Lane, Franklin, TN. 37064

For years it has been held in Smyrna. Online I saw that the move was because of the sale of the center.

Today I just read another show is moving because of the sale.

If you like the feel of the wind in your face and the open road, then you're sure to find an upcoming Shelbyville event interesting.
The Fifth Annual Spring Thaw Bike Show & Swap Meet is moving to Shelbyville this year and is looking like it's going to be the biggest yet. Due to the purchase of the Tennessee Expo Center in Smyrna, the 2007 Spring Thaw has been moved to Saturday, March 31, at Calsonic Arena.

That's 3000 people spending money in our town that will be going elsewhere.

Other shows that brought a lot of people, and money, to Smyrna were the Bead Mercantile Show(Now in Nashville), and the Children's consignment sale.

The website for the expo center is down.
