Daisy Get Together



The Daisy Get Together has a new home!

The next Daisy show is on August 22, 2010 and will be held at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds Expo Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Expo Center is a wonderful, clean, well lit facility. In this bigger building we will be able to have nine foot aisles with no posts to block anyone’s tables all on one level. There is also camping available on the grounds and plenty of close parking for everyone.


The host hotel will be the Clarion, which is located about 2 miles from the show, at 3600 East Cork Street has just been totally renovated. When making your reservation mention “Daisy Get Together BB Gun Show” for the discount rate. Their phone number is 269-385-3922. We will continue to have our reception on Saturday evening…but now in our own private large banquet room.

For information on what to see and do in the Kalamazoo area please contact the Convention & Visitors Bureau at www.discoverkalamazoo.com or call 800-888-0509. They have been tremendous in helping us make this move!

If you enjoy our website, then we politely ask you to contribute, in order to offset the (growing) expense. We don't ask for much, but then every bit helps! If you will (hopefully) click on the button below, then you can contribute at least $10 (or more if you like) to help.
