BLOOMINGTON ARMORY IS OUR NEW HOME FOR CLUB SHOWS:  The club officers have worked a deal with the Bloomington Armory, located at 3300 West 98th St., Bloomington.  It is very near Valley West mall, just a little bit north. Show dates for 2024 are listed. Show hours will remain as 9-4, but only dealers will be allowed in the room before 9am each show.  

 

SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL CURRENT CLUB DEALERS, AS WELL AS FUTURE ONES.

Effective immediately, all dealers MUST have a valid Minnesota State Sales Tax Number!!

You can apply for a Minnesota State Sales Tax Number on the internet, or with a phone call, if you do not currently have one. Here is the link, and there is a phone # as well.

 Registering Your Business | Minnesota Department of Revenue (state.mn.us)       651-282-5225

 The Sales Tax Number must be yours, with your name or business name.  ex:  Bob Jones may not bring in a Sales Tax Number with the name of Todd Smith

if you do not have a valid Minnesota State Sales Tax Number, you will NOT be allowed to set up.  No exceptions.

 

DEALER TABLE CANCELLATIONS: Any dealer who cancels the show, for any reason on Wednesday or later of the show week, will be charged a fee of $25.00 per table, $50.00 per endcap. If the club is able to refill the spot, the dealer will not have to pay the penalty. That amount WILL be paid before they are allowed to set up at a future show. Hope all are understanding of this.

TCSCC Charity Program Each month, two new organizations will be recognized and receive donations on behalf of the club. Any current club member can submit an organization for consideration. The only stipulation is that it NOT be a national organization (Cancer Society, ALS, etc.).
