Hillsville Labor Day Gun Show Adapts to Change
Hillsville Va hosts its Labor Day Gun Show and flea market with vendors adjusting setups and rules. Linda and Roger Hicks rent 17 spots in Hunley Field, noting fewer West Virginia vendors and altered unloading practices. Attendance and parking challenges shift over decades, with past crowds vastly larger than the town’s year round population of about 2,000. The event traces back to a 1967 ice storm and post 1968 growth, yet changes persist amid nostalgia.
