MERRIMAN -- Hundreds traveled to Merriman this weekend for the annual United Sportsmen's Club's fall Gun and Knife Show.

The show offered about 60 tables full of vendors selling all kinds of guns, knives, and everything in between. Some sold rifles and handguns while other tables had ammunition, accessories, and other hunting equipment.

The show also included blacksmith demonstrations.

Admission was five dollars, and all money raised goes to funding the club's events.

"I feel good, and I think everybody else in here feels good because this is just things that they love to do, so we're enjoying it," said John Fuse, a member of the club Board of Directors.

The club also fired a cannon in honor of military veterans and the victims of 9-11.
