Does anyone remember when the Wannamacher show would have celebrities attend ?

I had Randy Weaver (remember Ruby Ridge?) sign his book for me.

Also, saw Tom Selleck browsing the show on a Friday.

I remember the navigator I believe of the Enola Gay which delivered the atomic bomb
to Hiroshima. Also the guy from texas who was a big con man and swindled a lot
of people with some kind of agriculture products. He was on the national news a lot
way back when.

Horst Petschler, Bo Gritz, I remember meeting Randy Weaver at a show, but I don't believe it was Wannenmacher's.

Billie Sol Estes? Fertilizer salesman and LBJ bud?

Jim West from the Wild West Alaska show has a booth there usually. He builds those takedown Marlin guide guns. Very expensive!

I mean.... like, I'll be there; and can probably take the time to sign an autograph or two in-between fighting all of my fans off.

That's him. He was selling a book, probably his life story or something. Quite a scandal back in the day.
They said he used the old waterhole trick to bamboozle the bankers from up east and make his millions.

I remember David Allen COE was there one year but we didn't go by his table.

Horst Petschler, Bo Gritz, I remember meeting Randy Weaver at a show, but I don't believe it was Wannenmacher's.

I worked tables for a friend at a couple of shows in OKC when Bo Gritz and Randy Weaver were there. Seemed like about every 30 minutes or so Bo was on the PA system announcing that he and Randy would be giving a talk and hawking Weaver's book.
