There should be a next one. The "Shriners show" has been a twice/year event since I got back into the hobby 6 years ago. There's one in April and one in November. Yes, I understand the one in November is the real Shriners show and the one in April has been historically the Rich Altman show, now taken over by Lucky's promotions. Both are really good shows although I think it's generally accepted that a few more national-level vintage guys set up at the November show as compared to the April show. The April promoters tried to slide in a third "Shriners" show and I suspect there wasn't enough dealer interest. Perhaps it was too close to the national, who knows.

Either way, the other two shows are likely to carry on. Also, there's a Northeast Expo show in Marlboro, MA this coming weekend. Last year's show was pretty dang nice, arguably on the level of the April Shriners auditorium event. Because it is west of Boston you get some more cross pollination with the Connecticut and NY dealers who don't have to take their rigs through the trafficky greater boston area. Definitely one worth checking out.
