One Of These Days I've Got To Go To A Fun Show

You can expect that to mean 1,500 individual dealers. FUN is big, as large as any show in the country. There may be a little "fudging" going on in that estimate, but certainly not much. There's no way I could have done that whole show, appropriately, in less than two long days. Your theory about Florida collectors is probably accurate. FUN is the most-organized collectors' club in the country and likely that's the reason. Wonder if that's why NGC is located where it is?

Well I may still be at the show but my funds just got cut... probably by quite a bit. Looks like I am moving from south Al to south Fl. Like real south Fl. I just accepted a transfer to the Islamorada. I will be closer to the FUN show but funds will be diminished. Still excited about living in the keys.

The educational seminar list has been posted on FUN's site... Looks to be a great line up with a couple I will definitely be attending.

I agree, the Philadelphia show was very weak. Hopefully FUN will be better

This show has coins and Notes from everywhere. If it's Money it's there.

BTW -4 and a "Wind chill of -39" I start my drive down in about an hour.

NO the cold whether is not tied to my bumper and I am not dragging it with me! . It's already there! So much for a warm up

Can anyone help me with a few answers?
Is parking free?
What time do I need to be there to get in quickly without early bird?
Will there be any ccf medals at the show (I didn't order one originally and have regretted it)?
Is there a concession stand inside?
Thanks

@Sodude,

I Hope they do! nohope has been offering them at the CCF web site
for a number of months.

Another thing to remember about FUN is that dealers work the coin show circuit on a national basis versus a regional one almost always will do FUN. FUN along with Baltimore is so important that some national circuit dealers will work both of those and skip either the ANA National or Long Beach. The great thing about FUN is that it grows and grows every year pretty much. Once in while it does have a down year but usually that's cause weakness in the entire coin market pulls it under. Long Beach is going in the opposite direction and the location from a source on that side of country I know leaves much to be desired. The area in Florida for FUN is a nice vacation spot that people love wear as Long Beach not so much.
