About the Winston-Salem show
[Write about this specific show in your own words — how big it is, what kind of vendors turn up, what makes the Winston-Salem crowd different, and anything a first-time visitor should know. Every show page needs its own original text: nine pages of the same paragraph with the city swapped is exactly what search engines discount.]

Everything on this page is a placeholder. People drive hours to these shows, so a stale date or a wrong admission price is the fastest way to lose an attendee for good. Update the page the moment a date moves or a venue changes, take down shows that have passed, and make sure the price here matches what's charged at the door.
This is the single most important block of text on a gun show site, and it can't be boilerplate. Federal law requires licensed dealers (FFLs) to run a background check on every firearm transfer, and the rules on who counts as "engaged in the business" of dealing have tightened in recent years. State law then varies enormously — permit-to-purchase requirements, waiting periods, whether private transfers must go through an FFL, and how long-gun and handgun rules differ. Because the shows here run across NC, OH and PA, the rules are not the same at every venue. Have your actual show policy written or reviewed by an attorney who practises firearms law in each state, state it plainly on every show page, and update it when the law changes. Nothing on this website is legal advice.
Most shows require all firearms to be unloaded and secured (commonly zip-tied) at the door, no loose ammunition in the hall, and no handling of a firearm without the vendor's permission. Spell out your real rules here: what's checked at entry, what's not permitted inside, your policy on carrying, on minors, on photography, and on bringing a firearm in to sell or trade. Attendees read this before they load the truck, so being specific saves everyone a wasted trip — and being consistent with what your door staff actually enforce is what keeps the show safe.

Do I need a permit or a background check to buy?
+[Answer for NC specifically, checked with an attorney. Requirements differ between our NC, OH and PA venues, so don't reuse the same answer on every show page.]
