<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1248094, member: 16948&quot;]Day 2 (Tuesday):Tuesday was fantastically busy from the moment I arrived. I took some photos of the crowds and lines on the way in - it&#039;s always a good sign when there are lots of people gathered to get into a show, but I understand it did take a while to get everyone registered and finally in the door.&nbsp; However, I am hopeful everyone thought/thinks it was worth the wait!</p><p><br /></p><p>Larry Shepherd greeting attendees at the registration table...</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110815-00114.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110815-00112.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110815-00113.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Leyden-20110816-00141.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The exhibit area</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110815-00117.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The showroom before the public was let in (it is HUGE!)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110815-00118.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110816-00146.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Todd and I were very busy all day on Tuesday, and many many forum members graciously stopped by to say hi (ok, many were there to have Todd photograph there coins and some even purchased a coin or two from me - THANK YOU!).&nbsp; Here are photos of several forum members who allowed me to take their photo for my report (notice how they are a lot less blurry!)....</p><p><br /></p><p>Fred Weinberg and his assistant, Kathy, who are our neighbors!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Leyden-20110816-00142.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Liz and Gayle with J.J.
