Greetings all,
Wondering what the attendance of the Tucson show was in the 1990's.
If I had to guess I'd say 200,000 or more. I can remember it being so
much larger than past years I have been able to attend. I remember
trying to find parking spots for a half hour or more. You learn to
walk to places rather than drive down the road a bit or you would hunt
for another parking spot for quite a while. 9-11 changed all of that.

Dear List Members,
I was shocked to hear that the Tucson Gem and Mineral show is no
longer the world's largest. It looks like China is in first place
with attendance figures of over 380,000 for a four day event in 2015
compared to less than 40,000 for Tucson.

Maybe I should attend this year to add support for this American show
that has been running since 1955 while the Chinese show has only
existed for a mere 3 years.
Adam
