Taking a trip from Ohio to Florida, looking for something to do on the way...

DAM

I'll be driving from Dayton Ohio to Port Richie Florida sometime in February. I'm won't be in a big hurry and thought if there was a coin show or a nice coin shop close to 75 South I might set some time aside to stop.

My schedule is flexable and I plan to drive unless I get a really cheap plane ticket. I haven't driven to Florida for about 10 years and thought driving might be a nice change of pace.

Dam,
Don't have any info on your question, but had to respond.

My wife and I are leaving Belpre, Ohio tomorrow for Daytona Beach, FL. We will be there for a month, soaking up some sun, so I probably will venture over to Orlando for the FUN show.

Enjoy your trip.

The infamous Baltimore Coin Show is at the beginning of March.Depending on your route and departure time.

At that time of the year I'd just come straight to FL. On a plane. K

Nothing going on in February along 75 South?

nothing in the Cincinnati/ Northern KY area. No good coin shops. The only good show is in Sept.

1957Joe,

The Drawbridge show? I haven't been to it for years, I'm always in Canada.

Hey DAM, the last weekend in February, there is a show here in Lakeland, you have to take I-4 to get here, but it's not to far back from I-75, maybe 30-45 minutes or so... only about an hour to get there from Tampa... Mapquest Map. The Lakeland Collectorama Show @ the Lakeland Center, 700 West Lemon, Lakeland, FL, 33801, February 27-29, A: $3 (Though i thought it was free... *shrug*), 125-150 Tables, $125-$500 for a table, if you need phone and contact info, I have it right here. Hope you can make it!

1957joe, from what I understand that "Sept" show is going to be twice this year. Padgett is supposed to be running one in April this year. Same location.

Dan,
The Drawbridge show isn't in Ft. Mitchell anymore. It moved to Sharonville about 2 or 3 years ago. Too bad too because it was about 2 miles from my house. Now it is about 30.

That's even closer to me now. I didn't know it moved.

When is it in Sept? I'm usuall in Canada for 2+ weeks in Sept and always missed it. ld be a good excuse to go to Dave and Busters too!



Thanks George. Depending on when I go, that's just what I'm looking for.

Collectorama is a neat show.
Dam, send an email to Ed Kuszmar (show owner) with your name & address and ask him to put you on his mailing list for that show. You'll receive a show reminder and free pass about 1-2 wks before the show.

send info to: EdKuszmar@aol.com
