Many local residents gathered in Harker Heights to visit a gun show going on this weekend.
The Real Texas Gun Show was held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and will be open again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Harker Heights Event Center, 710 Edwards Drive.
There are around 75 different vendors at the gun show and around 100 people appeared to be inside around noon on Saturday.
There were countless rifles for recreation, sporting and hunting available as well as handguns of all calibers, shotguns and many other firearms. Many vendors were also selling ammunition as well as knives and other miscellaneous items.
As Christmas gets closer and the number of available shopping days dwindle, Santa-centered events are popular this weekend to get an extra dose of holiday cheer, with proper safety precautions of course. Check out the listing for more information on riding in a helicopter with Santa, taking your dog to the Santa Paws Parade, or snapping a photo or two with Santa at the mall. Thereâs also live music, food drives, and plenty of social-distance friendly events included.
