Easton Knife Show – Easton, PA
Saturday
& Sunday, September 24 & 25, 2011
Vendors: Set up Friday evening, 6 to 9 PM, and Saturday and/or Sunday mornings, 7 to 9 AM.
We moved a few miles. The Forks Township
Community Center, where we met in 2010, has tripled its rent and increased
requirements for 2011. It limited tables to only 89. The new Charles Chrin
Community Center of Palmer Township is a similar modern facility, but it is
anxious to support our growth. It is visible along the North side of US 22,
between PA 33 and PA 248 (25th street), Easton, PA. Large parking
lots and lawns surround it. Electrical outlets are available along walls. Bring
extension cords and multiple outlet strips. Compliance with local, state, and
federal laws is required. Though Pennsylvania is friendly to knife collectors,
automatic knives are not normally allowed to be carried. Vendors may display
only knife-related items. No guns or flea market items are allowed for sale.
Show officials will approve displays. We are not responsible for any losses.
The Community Center and the show halls are locked over night, with security
cameras and an alarm service connected to the police department. Smoking and
alcoholic beverages are prohibited anywhere in the Community Center. Self
contained RVs and trailers may park overnight. Call Discover Lehigh Valley for
hotel reservations, 610-882-9200, or visit www.DiscoverLehighValley.com
Advertising & promotion: We are again widely promoting this annual show in many
knife, gun, hunting, fishing, and outdoor sports magazines, newspapers, and
websites. We shall again distribute 12,000 flyers at other gun and knife shows,
clubs, and shops. Visit our website, www.PAKnifeShow.com, and sign up for our e-mail list. E-mails will be sent to
thousands of known knife fans, makers, dealers, collectors, vendors, etc. If
you have a good place to announce this show, please forward this flyer and list
the show on your favorite websites. This show is a repeat of our successful
knife shows held in past years on the same weekend. Help us promote and grow
this high quality annual show, at low cost to all. Then you can make more
sales! Ask for more free flyers to distribute to fans and customers, and to
display at your shop and other shows. The Charles Chrin Community Center of
Palmer Township, Easton, PA is convenient to buyers and vendors living in New
Jersey, New York, and Eastern Pennsylvania. Around 30 million people live within
150 miles. We should again attract thousands of knife fans. The show will
repeat next year, on the last full weekend in September, September 29 and
30, 2012.
