Does Portland ever host camera shows? I'd like to go to on but I've yet to hear of any happening. It seems like there's sufficiently enough shooters here? :confused:

"Show" or swap meet?
There is a swap meet every year - I think around October - at the National Guard Armory near the airport.

Oh, swap meet is what I should have said. Thank you for the info.

Drive a bit northward to Puyallup, Chad! Puget Sound Photo Collectors Society puts on a swap meet with also not-for-sale displays of historical interest (Argus, stereo gear, etc). This is at the state fairgrounds in Puyallup on the 4th Saturday of April each year. Coming up soon, should be the 28th of this month.

See the club website at http://www.geocities.com/pspcs/index.html

And find the event listed on the fairgrounds calendar... http://www.thefair.com/events.asp

Google for a map... :)

Pro Photo Supply has organized one in the past but I haven't kept track. You might call there and ask.

I think mount hood comunity collage put this on, you might check their site. There were once three shows/swap meets, one at the Washington county fair grounds, one in Gresham by a camera club, and the one by the airport at the armory by MHCC. If you find one I for one would like to know.

I can't find anything for the current year, but last year's show was:

"Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Jackson Armory located at 6255 N.E. Cornfoot Road. General admission will be $5 from 9:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. Student admission during this time is $3. Early admission is available from 8 to 9:30 a.m. for $15."

I would look for some updated info on the web closer to the middle/end of October.
