Denton Military Show April 26-27, 2025

[Denton Military Show]

I'm undecided about attending this year. It's a tight fit with my work schedule. Hauling the MKT over and setting it up isn't worth the effort to me if there aren't a bunch of folks camping in the Steel Soldiers area who want to partake of my cooking...
I skipped last year, only the second time that I have not been to the since we moved the gathering of MV owners to the FarmPark from our previous gathering spot at Baden Lake, since there weren't that many folks from this site attending.

Well that just means we need to get more people from here interested in attending. A lot of people don't know about it so that is why I have been pushing to spread the word. Who knows, with all this talk about you cooking , you may convince some people yourself!

I’m seriously considering going to this show. Is anyone going that could give /demo rides in a LMTV equipped with Eco Hubs?
I would like to set up as a vendor and don’t have a way to get my truck there and my motor home…. I can help with costs concerning demo rides No problem…. Any input would be appreciated. We would bring several sets of hubs and other misc.to offer for sale.
Might be a great way to save on shipping and maybe a little more! Would also like to meet some of the Steel Soldiers family.

Ill keep an eye out for someone that could hep you and it would be great to have you here. Sounds like what you have to offer would sell, plus you would have a great time especially if CGarbee is cooking ;D

i am visiting my 2 boys in VA and NC sometime in the next few weeks depending their schedules, both are about 2hrs from the show.. Neither of them would be interested in going although the youngest is still active army nearing 20 years service .. Perhaps my oldest boy's (younger) half-brothers (afghan/iraq vets) may want to go, but perhaps their PTSD and TBI's are still too "fresh" for them .. Either way, alone or not i will try to get there if the dates align !

Always put health first of course but it would be an awesome time if yall are able to make it out!

Am considering attending as a vendor. This post is to ask folks familiar with this event for their opinions if this is the kind of swap meet and market whose attendees would be interested in canvas and vinyl repairs, HMMWV window zipper repairs, new HMMWV rear curtains, curtain upgrades and repairs, my HMMWV soft slant back kits, etc.?
It's hard to tell from the photos if folks may have vehicle fabric parts needing repair.
Certainly I can and will advertise my availability beforehand, but if likely customers won't be there it wouldn't be worth the drive from Quantico. If on the other hand there might be an opportunity to make some repairs, sell some rear curtains and soft slant back kits, it's more attractive.

Appreciate folks' opinions. Never been to Denton or Hagerstown. I'm not a typical rally vendor, I'm looking for ways to supplement myself while the Wash DC job market sorts itself (and me) out.

Many thanks for everyone's thoughts,
Alex
