Having missed but 2 of the past 12 years at the Tucson Shows, I'll be sad to miss this one - I'm shooting for even years now. It is the bead mecca of the world for one month each winter, many would agree!
Our policy for commercial ads is that they be placed on our Classifieds page, which works exactly the same way as our discussion board page. But for the Tucson season, I make exceptions for a couple of reasons. Because there are over 40 shows taking place there each year over the period of approximately a month, it is in itself a Large Bead Event. Every serious bead collector/specialist/hobbyist should try to get there at least once. And so we facilitate communication about it. And in order to access further acquisition of the fabulous beads we all love, we need Bead Events and to share info about them.
May it be a safe and fruitful Tucson Season for all!

We've been going to Tucson for 30 years. We sold our beads at two shows for a number of years. The Pueblo Inn for 20 years. Now The Riverpark but that name has changed again. A must see show for all the great dealers there. The Whole Bead Show. The Best Bead Show.
Of course we bought many a vintage glass bead from Ben Eagle. Was it $70/kilo? Ben's been discovered by the known world. His paintings from the 60's are now at Princeton and in the homes of rich folks. Chipita's still doing trade shows. Ben gave up Tucson a couple years ago for a number of reasons. Stone Mountain Colorado is his company. He writes an interesting blog on E-Blast. Easy to locate on google.
Another one not to miss is The African Village and BWANACON/Steve Cohn. The African Village moved to a new location last year. Much better spot, Congress and the I10 frontage road.
There's something like 90 shows happening in Tucson in late January and February. I LOVE this forum. The liveliest one on the WWB. For sure.
