People shopped, chatted and caught up over Western and American Indian collectibles Saturday at the Tucson Old West Round-Up at the Pima County Fairgrounds.
Kristi and Dave Wilson, a husband-and-wife team, created the eclectic annual show six years ago.
"For a number of years we were dealers ourselves," said Kristi Wilson. "We had an idea to do it differently. We wanted more of a family atmosphere and a personal touch to our show."
Vendors talked with customers about their mutual passions, collecting antique and well-crafted Old West memorabilia.
"This is the best show," said Annette Gill, a dealer specializing in Old West and American Indian collectibles. "I travel all over the country, and the dealers and producers are just the best here."
The show features historic items, collectible books and paper goods, spurs, bits, cowboy hats, vintage firearms, American Indian baskets and beadwork and much more.
