Music needed to be louder. But the set up was well thought out and quickly in and out with parking and gates. Crowd participation was not at best for music festival surprised us after traveling 6 hours to attend but the Expo center and staff was Nice 👍

The Gonzales Gun Show occurs every few months at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center. I try and make it when I can to check out new items released by manufacturers. There are a few vendors at this particular show that always seem to have the newest items that drop. Prices are dropping but still on the high side at the shows. There is normally a good mix of new and used inventory, accessories, ammo, knives, relics, and other various oddities. Admission is ten bucks and there is always ample parking. Give them a shot if you're in the area.

So many venue options at LD and the Inaugural Ascension Pride was so well done. The spaces are well kept and the security gives a sense of safety.

Cold and storming and they keep the 10 giant fans on. EVERYone was wet and freezing. They weren't shut off till the ceremony was over halfway over!!
