RUGER OWNERS & COLLECTORS SOCIETY, INC


ROCS 5th ANNUAL OGCA DISPLAY SHOW

WILMINGTON, OHIO

JULY 13 & 14, 2019


Narrative by Bill Hamm

& David Faulkner, ROCS Photographer

The ROCS 5th OGCA Display show was another great success! Our displays were once again placed in an island in the middle of the show just as you walked in the door. The OGCA Members attending the show really seemed to enjoy our Rugers. There was a constant crowd viewing the displays, talking with the displayers, asking questions, etc. Lee Newton, ROCS President, and ROCS Member Bill Hightower did a great job manning the ROCS table. They signed up 8 new members and some renewals at the show.

This is a very high quality real GUN show with approximately 750 tables. Several members found some treasurers to add to their collections. The OGCA has about 18,000 members. Go to www.OGCA.com to learn more about them and how to join. We highly recommend it!!

As you will see in the individual display write-ups, there were 16 displays of some of the finest and rarest Rugers made along with some really unique displayer's custom Rugers. We want to give a big thanks to all of the displayers for their hard work building, transporting, setting up and tearing down their display. A great big thanks to Terry Hill and Chris Rohal, OGCA Directors, and our own David Faulkner, ROCS Photographer, for taking some great photos of the displays and displayers.

You will be able to read the full detail of each display in the Fall issue of the ROCS Digest magazine published late October. If you are not an active member of ROCS we urge you to join us now by going to the "JOIN" button on the Homepage.
