<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26323229, member: 77639&quot;]I don’t understand why Oklahoma City was chosen.&nbsp; There certainly isn’t a large local population compared to many other cities.&nbsp; It’s the smallest city by far that the summer show has been in since the 1950’s.&nbsp; There are 41 metro areas in the US that are larger.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some possible reasons: 1.&nbsp; cheaper rent for convention center, 2. favorable sales tax, 3.&nbsp; one (long) day drive from ANA HQ in Colo. Springs, 4.&nbsp; near geographical center of contiguous states, 5. location of some influential dealers, like APMEX.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I have nothing against it being there with regard to my interests other than maybe fewer dealers being there. But my wife goes with me.&nbsp; She loves museums, and pickings are slim in Oklahoma City.&nbsp; We have good air connections via Denver.&nbsp; And I’ve never met an Oklahoman I didn’t like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
