I've been attending the Tucson Show in January/February every year since 1973. Obviously that's a show that is large and very satisfying to any bead or mineral collector. I've also been attending the Tucson September show for the past several years. We own a bead shop and, after a busy Summer season I can head to Tucson for one day and reload some beads and supplies. I used to drive in from San Diego, stay overnight and shop, then leave the next day. It wasn't worth the three days...so now I fly in on the first flight with 2 empty suitcases. I shop for about 5-6 hours, visiting only about a dozen vendors...then fly home on the last flight with full suitcases. Purchases are nothing particularly important....Chinese crystal, some gemstone beads. So, other than a little restocking...the answer would be no. ps. Our Bead & Crystal shop - Beads, crystals and More in Encinitas - was recently voted the Best Bead Store in San Diego - America's Finest City! We hope our BCN friends will come visit, to browse our collections of Old African Trade Beads and see our Museum Room filled with Antique Tribal Artifacts from around the world.
