This a little delayed but FWIW.
The show was Mar 20 & 21.
The crowd was lined up at the door prior to 10 am opening. It was non-stop for 6 hours. No time for a lunch break. Finally got a couple of hours to restock and have a snack then there was another rush that lasted for another two hours. Died down at 6 till it closed at 7.
This is a small show with about 25 dealers. The show was sold out early with 4 dealers shut out by not registering soon enough.
This show is collector based with very little 'investor' demand. Everything seemed to sell save for foreign crowns and silver Washington quarters. Can't say any specific area was 'hot' but Indian cents and modern proof singles went well. Bullion did well as did Silver Eagles.
Sunday is more of a family day with little selling done since there is a free kids drawing. All the dealers make donations for the drawing. The place fills up and looks very busy but most are waiting for the drawing. This year was different as many buyers were searching for coins to fill collections as well.
We had a great time as always and yep, that pretty young gal with the big eyes was there and said hi to us. You might know her as IdahoGal.
Please support your local shows. A lot of fun and you never know who you will meet or what you will find.

The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

I was there and was amazed at the turnout. Sorry I missed you Bob, but you were very
busy and I had to leave pretty early to get up to Salmon, ID for a fishing trip.
Busy is a bit of an understatement as both days were full bore.
We even got a fire alarm at the hotel at 6am Sunday which spoiled our plans of sleeping in late. Turned out to be a false alarm. Another unplanned event but added to the events of the trip.
Still had fun!
