I know the Red River Valley Coin Club 50th Anniversary Show in Fargo, ND is coming up soon. But does anyone know exactly when?
I have seen different articles on the 'net saying Jan. 23-24 or 30-31. If any club members are members of this forum, I encourage you to let people know. I have searched all over the internet, including the local newspapers, and can find very little (if any) information about it.

Well, zeewool, it depends on how you define "actually live"!  During the winter, living means staying warm! Come on up, we'll go ice fishing! |

I think that I remember seeing something on National Geographic about a guy named Robert Peary exploring around up there in 1909. I'm not sure that I could put up with the constant polar bear attacks. Does your igloo melt in the summer, or does it get warm enough for that?

Oh schmidty, there is really nothing to be ashamed of. No need to try to separate the two. I'm sure that lots of folks ice fish and hunt seals in the winter and are employed in a small workshop in the summer making lots of toys for all of the good little girls and boys. How else could you make enough money to support your coin collecting hobby?

The Red River Valley Coin Club's coin show slated for Jan. 30-31 in Fargo, N.D., will mark a half century of bourse activity. For 50 years the local club has sponsored a coin show in Fargo or Moorhead, Minn., in the later part of January or early February.
This 50th annual show will again host more than 35 dealers from as many as five states with more than 50 tables available.
Club President Dave Quittschrieber expects this year's show to be "one of the biggest and best ever." Displays and exhibits will be expanded. Among the additional displays will be some of the finest known collections of tokens and currency from North Dakota, Minnesota and Maine, and 3-cent nickels.
A banquet to celebrate the milestone anniversary will be held Saturday night, Jan. 30, at the Doublewood Inn Hotel in Fargo, where the show has been held over the last 33 years. Featured speaker for the event will be American Numismatic Association President Cliff Mishler.
The anniversary is also being marked by a medal featuring the Red River Valley of the North. It is available for purchase for $6 per medal and is being produced in antique nickel, brass and copper. A limited edition of 50 silver medals are also planned to be struck.
The Red River Valley Coin Club will host the National Token Collectors Association's national show over Labor Day Weekend in Fargo. Club Bourse Chairman Bob Hanna said he is pleased and excited that a national event of this size is coming to the city.
The club has sponsored a YN club, provided numismatic materials to local libraries, made school presentations and helped lobby to eliminate sales tax on coins and currency in North Dakota. It also hosts the North Dakota State Coin Show the third weekend in November each year.
Questions regarding the 2010 shows should be directed to Hanna by phone at (701) 373-8980 or by e-mail at bob@concorde-GA.com.

Santa, er, I mean schmidty, the info listed above is dated Jan 14th 2010, so I think that it is pretty up to date and reliable.
I will 'email' you my wish list this year, as you obviously haven't been doing very well with reading my letters in recent years.

Good work zeewool!  I think I found that article, too. Is it from numismaticnews.net? I found another article saying it was 23-24. OK...you are back on the Good List now. |

Just be there on the 30th incognito (shaven beard and no red clothing). Due to the state of the current economy, it may not be wise to draw the attention of any recently disgruntled children.

I found out it is for sure 30-31. (just in case anyone other than me and zeewool are even following this post!)
You're right zeewool. Even Santa is affected by a recession!
