11th ANNUAL LONGVIEW/KELSO RECORD SHOW
Hello everybody and hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We have a date locked in now for our annual Longview/Kelso Record and Music Collectors Show, and it is: Saturday March 8th, 2025
It is going to be at the usual location at the Cowlitz Event Center and Fairgrounds. This is a great venue with plenty of parking, easy to find, easy load in and out to the parking lot, and close to I-5 as well. The address once again is:
Cowlitz Event Center
1900 7th Avenue
Longview, WA 98632
Vendor tables are $50 each for an 8 foot table or $45 for a 6 foot table (there are a limited amount of 8 foot tables, only 25 total, and we may well run out of those early on, so first come first serve on that). Anybody who pays for two tables or more before the end of January, 2025, gets $5 off the cost there as a special early bird bonus.
We are expanding to take up the full large conference room this time, so we are extending load in hours a bit more. Dealer load in is 930am - 11am and early entry will be from 1030am - noon. General admission hours will run from noon to 5pm. Early entry is now $15.00 and General admission is $5 per person.
LP’s, CD’s, 8-Tracks, Cassettes, Posters and other music related items will be there for as usual from various vendors from around the NW. We’ll be advertising and promoting the event as usual in the Record Collector's Guide, Record Shows of America, Goldmine's online listings, just about every record store in the NW that will put up flyers and/or put out handbills, etc. etc. We'll have an event page created here soon and start inviting everybody as we do, but you can also send us a message here if you are interested in vending at the show, or want more info about it, etc. Thanks as always for your support of the show!
