    Print the text below for FREE admission to the show...




    << <i>Only one week until the Lakeland, Florida "Collectorama Show"
    to be held February 25-27, 2005 at the Lakeland Center. There
    is a $3.00 (Good for the weekend) Admission Fee, but bring this
    notice and get Free Admission. There is also Free Parking.
    We expect 125-150 dealers of Coins, Currency and all kinds of
    Neat Collectibles. The show also will issue a special Souvenir
    Card that is available at $4.00 at the show. The United States
    Post Office will also be on hand to hand-cancel the Souvenir
    Card on the First Day of Issue for the cost of a .37 cent stamp.
    There will be Hourly Door Prizes, and a special door prize at
    2 p.m. on Sunday. Each youngster, 12 or under, gets a daily dip
    into the Kid's Bucket for a Free Hand Full of Money. The Kid's
    Bucket is kept full all weekend by generous dealers and collectors
    who put all kinds of "numismatic goodies", and hobby collectibles.

    The Lakeland Center is located at 701 W. Lime Street, just west of
    downtown Lakeland. From I-4 take Route 98 South into Lakeland.
    Route 98 will take a left, go straight on South Florida Avenue
    until you get downtown. The Lakeland Center sits of a hill just
    west of downtown.

    The host hotel for Collectorama is the Baymont Inn (863-815-0606)
    and they offer $64.00 per night rooms. The Baymont is locations
    just off of I-4 at Exit 33 and is a nice clean and quiet motel.
    Some of the dealers also stay at the Terrace Hotel which is just
    about 5 or 6 blocks east of the show and is downtown and has an
    excellant restaurant (4 star I believe). Rooms there generally
    run in the $100.00 to 125.00 range.

    For more information please visit our web site at:

    or call Ed Kuszmar at 561-392-8551
    A few Coin and Currency tables, and a few Collectibles booths
    are still available.

    We could all bring a couple of coins to pass around the table, I don't know about everyone else, but I wouldn't mind warming up to some before the show image.
