This is just up the road from me. I'm in Fort Myers. I haven't been to a card show in over 20 years (Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs). Can't wait!

Is this a regular show? I’m in Manasota Key/Englewood about 5 times a year.

This is a 1st time show at this location. We have had annual shows at the Manatee County Fairgrounds at the end of February for the last 6 years. Hope you are down here for Thanksgiving!

What’s a good hotel to stay at for the show?

Venice Show
 

The show is being held at the Hotel Venezia, and there is a show rate to stay right there. The show rate & hotel info is all on the website: pennantfevershow.com

I looked on the site and didn’t see info….

Click on the "Locations" tab.

Those were fun times when Coral Square hosted them. Shoot someone should fill that old Sears that's sitting empty there for a show.

If I hear from enough Net54 members attending the show, maybe we can set-up a Net54 meet & greet during the show. Let me know, and looking forward to the show.

At last, a card show in Florida. Next it will be the National in Orlando.

How about a second National, a "Winter National" at Orlando! YES!

Venice Show
 

They have plenty of room for the National & then some at the Orlando Convention Center. A "Winter" National would be great, but they said FL was not an option just before they cancelled the re-scheduled Dec. 2020 AC National.

Venice Show - JSA Update
 

JSA UPDATE: due to holiday travel, JSA will be at the show on Friday from 5pm-8pm, and the regular show hours on Sat (9am-5pm) & Sun (9am-4pm). Sorry for any inconvenience, have a great Thanksgiving, and looking forward to the show.

Bryan

Just booked my Hotel and looking forward to 70 degree weather.

Venice Show
 

Glad to hear you are coming down JC! Little cool at night but great weather for the rest of the week.

Any update on how it went?

I could not go; had to work to cover vacations (it's 24/7/365 when it comes to water).

Venice Show
 

As one of the co-promoters, I thought there was a good balance of vintage & modern material in the room, with a steady attendance for 2/3's of each day. I appraised several tobacco card collections that came into the show, and signed photos of Ruth & Gehrig came through too.

A dozen or so Net54 members attended the show, including JC, and they can chime in for more updates. Looking forward to building on this show for next year!

Regards,

Bryan
