<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4534125, member: 105571&quot;]This is the public announcement from the FUN Board of Directors:</p><p><br /></p><p>2020 SUMMER FUN SHOW CANCELLED</p><p>It is with great disappointment that the FUN board of directors is announcing</p><p>Summer FUN 2020 is cancelled. The FUN board has worked hard to make this show a</p><p>reality, desperately wanting to provide a venue for our dealers to get back to what</p><p>they love and have our numismatic community be able to convene again. However, it</p><p>has become clear that the “cons” far outweigh the “pros” at this point in time.</p><p>First and foremost is the concern for the health and well-being of our dealers, our</p><p>service providers, and our public attendees. There are currently many concerns and</p><p>also many unknowns about how things will be in early July. The FUN board voted and</p><p>approved the purchase of masks and hand sanitizer for our attendees, but there was</p><p>still apprehension about being able to keep everyone safe with some level of social</p><p>distancing and other safety measures.</p><p>“Our auction partner, Heritage Auctions, has endorsed this decision and has</p><p>graciously agreed to transfer the Summer FUN auction consignments to their</p><p>upcoming official auction of the ANA in Pittsburgh August 3-8,” said FUN President</p><p>Bob Hurst. “We understand and fully endorse the decision of the FUN organization,”</p><p>remarked Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Auctions Steve Ivy. “The safety and</p><p>health of the numismatic community is the first and foremost consideration. Heritage</p><p>Auctions and its entire staff look forward to the upcoming FUN Show and auction in</p><p>January with even more anticipation than normal.”</p><p>Our clubs are unable to get their members to commit to attend the show and are</p><p>cancelling their FUN-sponsored club buses. We believe this is a good indicator that</p><p>the public is not yet comfortable attending a convention.</p><p>If you booked a hotel reservation through FUN’s official housing bureau, your</p><p>reservation will automatically be cancelled.</p><p>FUN deeply regrets disappointing many people, but we look forward to better days</p><p>ahead and a hugely successful show in January 2021. Thank you for your patience and</p><p>understanding as we navigate these unprecedented situations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
