Fun Show 2010 - New Location in 2011?
Went to the FUN show, well, what was a little over a week ago now. I was in
Naples "on vacation" anyway and planned on traveling to Orlando for a day and an overnight. With the cold and rain on Saturday, we ended up spending most of that day there, too. Almost 2 full days! Friday was great, in hindsight. I was able to access easily the dealers I wanted and browse freely. Saturday was much busier and more zoo-like. The good news was/is: lots of women and kids. I don't know if this was unusual or not, as I tend to hit shows on weekdays, when possible, vacating by the weekend. Saturday was much worse for browsing, but obviously(?) better for the dealers. Next year's show apparently will be in Tampa. That actually works better if I end up vacationing again in Naples (1 hour closer), but I thought Orlando was a great place for this event. Does anyone know why it is moving? Who's got the skinny? Nick |

This won't be the first time FUN had to move ... it relocated to Tampa once before (in the 1990's) and to Fort Lauderdale in 2005, both times I believe due to OCCC reconstruction ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics email: P.

Several major trade shows have been fleeing the onerous conditions, especially local union work rules, at McCormick Place in Chicago over the past year or so and ISTR that Orlando is one of the places that one or more of those shows have been fleeing to. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.
