<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1508815, member: 16948&quot;]Saturday – Got all packed, went down to breakfast and saw Carl/FunWithMPLs and his friend J.T. Stanton (I’ve run into several collectors and dealers during breakfast who were staying in our hotel) so it was nice to chat with him again.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Philadelphia-20120811-02762.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then I headed over to my WIN meeting at the convention center and took a couple photos of the city on my way.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02767.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Reading Market</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02768.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is a Dutch fair being held right in front of The Reading Market and they have this really cute pony and cart toting kids around</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02765.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then I attended my WIN meeting (Women in Numismatics) where I volunteered to be on the board to help with promoting WIN during shows, etc.&nbsp; Todd didn’t believe I was actually going to get up early enough to make it to the meeting so I took this photo just to prove to him that I did!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02763.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The guys from Northern Nevada Coin (Alan, Tony and Wade) are wonderful not to mention fun!&nbsp; They were right across from us and we had many a rubberband war during the slow parts of the show.&nbsp; Today, since the show was quite slow and there wasn’t much public in attendance, I actually ran out of “ammunition” and had to gather all the remnants that were left in the aisle so I could “defend” myself in our brutal battles!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02769.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took some closer photos of the pony cart and the horse and haywagon.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02783.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02771.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02770.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02782.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02779.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02780.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took a break and went outside to check out the Dutch fair and take some pictures.&nbsp; There was a little petting zoo with various animals and their very cute offspring.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02774.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02775.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02776.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02777.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And they also had a little band playing with lots of Amish folks in attendance</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02773.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120811-02772.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, all in all the show was a good show, not great, but better than average.&nbsp; I bought a lot of coins at this show and sold quite a few too so I’m anxious to add everything up and see how I came out.&nbsp; I have to say that Philly is a very fun town, and I had a blast here.&nbsp; There was so much to see and do and too many great places to eat!&nbsp; I would love to come back to another show here in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The show on Saturday died pretty quickly, and there was lots of packing up activity early on.&nbsp; Todd left around 2pm, so once he was gone, I began packing and headed to the airport around 4pm, even though my flight isn’t until 8pm.&nbsp; So I’m sitting here at the airport bar, had my last “real” Philly cheesesteak sandwich, am enjoying the great 70’s rock and roll music along with a refreshing Mai Tai while inputting the final details of my report before I board my plane.&nbsp; I plan to take a nice nap on my way back to L.A.!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02789.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012 08 Philly ANA/Philadelphia-20120811-02788.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next up, the new Santa Clara show next weekend![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
