<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1847477, member: 16948&quot;]Let me start off by saying this year’s FUN show was the very best show I’ve ever had – in all respects!&nbsp; I had more sales at this show than I ever have, I bought some neat pieces, and my Penny Potpourri exhibit did very well.&nbsp; And from the other dealers I spoke with, they also said they had very good shows.&nbsp; From the first day the public was let in, there was a definite buzz, and it didn’t stop until late Saturday.&nbsp; I even stayed on Sunday this year but it was expectedly sparsely </p><p>Right after the PNG meeting, it was time for dealer set up.&nbsp; It takes me about 2 hours to set up my booth, then another 2 hours to set up my exhibit, so I was very anxious to get onto the bourse floor and get started. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3663_zpsa41570eb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I recently added a couple new sections (Love Tokens and Cut-Outs)to my Penny Potpourri exhibit, changed out a few pieces, and included some newly acquired pieces since exhibiting at the Chicago ANA.&nbsp; I also reworked some of the information cards, so I think this exhibit is an even better and more thorough representation of all the various types of penny exonumia. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3620_zps0caf418e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3616_zpsfed8d73f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3614_zps46317940.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3612_zps852b74b5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3610_zps38c04c4b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3608_zps7c17a367.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_3664_zpsbbc15f7c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll post the results of the competition later in this report.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since set up didn’t end until 8pm, I was very glad I had plenty of time to set up my booth and exhibit, and then do some actual business!&nbsp;
