Can't make it this February? Mark your calendars for the 61st Semi-Annual Collectorama Show, at the Lakeland Center, this coming October 7-9, 2016.
It's a good show. I'm going Friday. Good advertisement - Are you one of the show promoters? I heard that the SC show was good on Friday but the weather hurt the next two days. Also heard St. Louis was not so hot. Hope Lakeland beats them both - GO FLORIDA.
