The summer Baltimore Whitman show has been the last weekend in June ever since I've been going which is probably on the order of 15 years. But this time it's July 16-19. I asked MFD why but he didn't know. Sooooo, I have to be patient for another 3 weeks. I wonder how this messes up the dealers since I suspect they plan well ahead.
I would imagine that the event is published far enough in advance for the dealers that it doesn't affect them too much. It isn't too often that major events are scheduled so close together that a change of 2-3 weeks is a problem. Of course, it might be a problem for someone like Charmy who seems to spend more time away from home than most others. Maybe she will chime in with her viewpoint. Chris
I share a table with another dealer at Baltimore, and we are both skipping the show because it conflicts with vacation plans we both had made with our families.
