If there was a large Coin Show in your area on Mothers Day would you attend?

kieferscoins

Yes, in the morning and be with my mom in the afternoon.

Sure, what difference would being Mother's day make?

My daughter was born on Mother's Day. Her Birthday and Mother's Day don't always coincide but we often have a party around then.

Anyway it should never happen because dealers don't like to do shows on Sundays right?

Longacre

I don't see why it would make a difference, especially if you are promoting your show as happening on every XX Sunday of the month. It might confuse people if it got cancelled or annoy people who show up to find it cancelled.

vinman

so you think people willl still attend

nwcs

The local one here would never meet on a Sunday. But I probably wouldn't because I'd be at church and then visit mom. Wouldn't be worth going to in all likelihood.

kranky

I would not.

mgoodm3

I would.

dwsblue

Take mom to breakfast before, and buy her a nice coin.

KurtHorn

Yes, my mother passed away 3 years ago...

Tootawl

Yes, my mom passed away last month.

quarterjack

Absolutely, and i'd also make sure i picked up a small gift for her at the show before going to visit afterwards. Mothers always understand your reasoning.

If there was a large Coin Show in my area on Christmas I'd attend. People who live near coin shows don't know how lucky they are.

OKbustchaser

yes

TheRaven

Yes without question.

ChangeIsGood

Yes, and I would buy a coin with a woman on it. As long as it wasn't a lazy Susan

Hmmm ... the local monthly coin show where I live is a one day only show on Sunday mornings. Gotta get there early depending upon how busy things are because the dealers have a tendecy to start packing up when things slow down. Usually around 1:00 which isn't bad since the show officially ends at 2:00. Gotta update my wish lists since the show is coming up this Sunday ...

mozin

Large coin show-Yes; regular local coin show-No.

CUEBALL

No,I make and sell concrete statues and that's my busiest day of the year!

topstuf

It would be the hugest mistake the sponsor could make.
Funds are allocated for moms on that day.
Many do not have EXTRA funds.
Telling wives that they are going to a COIN SHOW would make a buncha lawyers happy.
I would not do it.

I'd go..........but the GRAVY (the sellers who sell to coin show dlrs) would not attend.

You need a neutral day for a show.

IMO

dorancoins

I wouldn't, and if a show were to fall on Father's Day, I wouldn't be there, either.

RYK

I would not go.

Ironically, I purchased my favorite coin from Doug Winter over the internet on Mother's Day, 2003:

ChangeIsGood

I would go. My mother was slabbed 10 years ago.

UncleJoe

Only if she was a coin collector!

Joe.

Yumawolf

As a Mother of two adult children, if they were interested in coins, I'd want to go to a coin show with them. The best gift they can give me is to share their interests with me. I'm always up for something interesting.

susanlynn9

Since I'm a mother, I'd say that we had to go and they could buy coins for me as my Mother's Day gift!

Russ

Since my mother assumed room temp almost 40 years ago, yes I would attend.

Russ, NCNE

Bochiman

Cold bastadges in here

I would just take mommy with me and park her in the corner if she complained

Dennis88

KUCH

No way. We're spending the day with Mom. It's her day.

littlejohn

If only my Mom was still alive.

That said, you better believe I would NOT attend. Although I think I did once when my Mom was alive. If I only knew then what I know now.
