Floor,
Until we get some idea of where the main vendors from the Grant Inn tent will relocate, one idea would be to stay right next to the African Art Village, aka African Village, at the Super 8, 715 West Starr Pass Blvd. The address of the African Village is 1134 S. Farmington Rd., which is right around the corner. Within walking distance of this Super 8 are three more shows that I have never stopped at, since they are not known for collectible items: Howard Johnson Gem & Mineral Show, 1010 S. Freeway Ave. La Quinta / Clarion Gem & Mineral SHow, 750 West Starr Pass Blvd Tucson Showplace, 1530 S. Freeway Ave. The "Gem Mall" show that the Grant Inn people are being encouraged to join up with, is on 4475 S. Country Club Road, about 6 miles from the AFrican Village. There is a cluster of other shows in that general area, although I'm not sure about walking to them. This year, the City of Tucson did not run any free shuttle busses, so several people that did not have cars shared taxis to get around. Some of the show promoters ran free shuttles between their venues, but I don't know which ones could be reached that way. I'll scan the two-page map and list of show addresses and send it to you. If anyone else wants a copy, please shoot me an email. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
