Hey everyone just putting this out there but me and my wife will be going on Saturday.
it is a great event and it is maybe even close enough that @Dawn should see if USCCA would send her 
Other groups have exhibits there besides just the gun manufacturers and accessories (Vortex, Gerber, etc) such as MN Gun Owners Caucus.

Each year, on the 4th weekend of August, Ahlmanâs present the greatest shooting show youâll ever see:
SHOOTERâS ROUNDUP. Gates open 9am - 5pm both days. Hereâs a brief list of what takes placeâŠ
FACTORY GUN TESTINGâŠNearly all the major gun companies set up test ranges where YOU can personally test fire their guns. Many offer free shooting, some charge for ammo.
EXOTIC GUN TESTINGâŠEver had the urge to shoot a machine gun, or a .50 cal? How about blasting a Chevy with a Browning A-4 or knock out one of Saddamâs tanks with a 25 mm anti-tank gun? You can do all this (legally) at Shooterâs Roundup.
ZOMBIE SAFARIâŠAfter we arm you with an AR rifle & handgun, you and your guide will board a safari vehicle and head off into the unknown. Along the way, youâll travel through a thick swamp â teeming with zombies. After handgunning a few of them and dodging vicious creatures in a dense woods, youâll climb a steep hill and descend into the âValley of the Un-deadâ where youâll fight off a zombie onslaught. If you complete the mission, your reward is a free ride back to civilization.
CASTLE OF DOOM, GET THE SNIPER, HOGANâS ALLEY and other fun & exciting shooting scenarios will test your shooting skills.
WILDERNESS HUNTâŠOur most popular event. Youâll face 15 challenges that demand proficiency with shotgun, rifle, handgun, bow, knife (and a few others we toss in to keep you awake). Score high and win guns and other valuable prizes.
PRIZE HUNTâŠIf you donât care for the physical demands of the wilderness hunt, try our prize hunt. Locate all 20 sites and qualify for valuable prizes.
OLD WEST MELODRAMAâŠYouâll cry when Sweet Sally is gunned down. Youâll gasp when cowboys fall from the rooftops. Youâll applaud when the posse gets Black Bart. Youâll love this half hour show with itâs cast of 20. Two shows daily.
SHOOTING ENTERTAINERSâŠOne of the highlights of Shooters Roundup is viewing the stage shows. Throughout the day, skilled exhibition shooters will dazzle you with their shooting abilities. Most performances are 20 to 30 min. sit-down shows. With 8 different stages running throughout the day, you can pick & choose only the ones you wish to view. Times are staggered so you can watch them all if youâd like.
SHOPPING FOR SHOOTINGâŠThereâs over 150 vendors at Shooters Roundup for you to check out. AndâŠif you donât find what youâre looking for, check out Ahlmanâs Gun Store which has over 5,000 guns on display.
WHATâS IT COST?..Hereâs the good part.
GENERAL ADMISSIONâŠ(includes shows, limited free shooting, free parkingâŠ$10
CHILDREN UNDER 10 (accompanied by parent)âŠFREE
WILDERNESS HUNTâŠIncludes general admission and a lot more shootingâŠ$30
You wonât find another event this side of the Mississippi that offers this much entertainment for only ten bucks. Of course, if you test fire every single gun, enter every contest and pork out at all the food stands, you can run up the tab a bit. ButâŠyouâll have a blast doing it.
