Another successful CSNS show has come and gone! I personally enjoy attending this show as it is very well-organized, always busy and very well attended especially on Thursday, O’Hare is a centrally located airport with direct flights from most parts of the country, there’s usually no weather problems, and the show is in the convention […]

As you all know, this show was likely the last Long Beach Expos show as we know it. For me, and many others who have participated in the Long Beach show over the past many years, we are saddened by this. Of course, there was lots of talk about other possibilities with regard to continuing

Wow, what a show it was! I very much look forward to setting up at the FUN show each year as it has always been one of, if not the best, show of the year – and this year’s show was fantastic and didn’t disappoint! Every dealer I spoke with said they were very busy

This was my best Central States show ever! And many dealers with whom I spoke agreed that this particular show was one of their best CSNS shows as well. Cindy Wibker and the CSNS folks really did outdo themselves in putting on this show – from Dealer Day through Saturday! Also, as you will see,

Once again, another Long Beach show has come and gone. For me, this show in particular seemed to fly by, from set up to tear down. I always look forward to and enjoy participating in the Long Beach Expo as I have many local friends and customers who stop by to see me. Although this

Wow, what a show! This show was a whirlwind for me and I couldn’t believe it was over when it was time to pack up on Saturday. Most dealers I spoke with said they too had a very busy and successful show. For me, quality pennies seem to be remaining strong, even in this slightly
