Why hold coins shows in the middle of winter?

    There is a coin show going on but I'm tired and it's 3 below zero here in Wisconsin.
    I would go if the show was held in April or something but I can't figure why the only local show of the year is today.

    Because on nice weekends people want to visit the outdoors instead of being in a dank, overly warm room?

    I'd say there is no such thing as a bad day to go to a coin show.

    C'mon dude, you have to be kidding me. Being inside for a coin show on a cold February day is a great opportunity than staying home. Having a show in the Winter is actually ideal, and better than staying home.

    Forum traffic is heavier in the winter too. Makes sense when you think about it.

    be nice, go to a show and support our beloved hobby. And don't get ripped off by a slug dealer.

    Not so much fun for the dealers I have to say. Mrs. VDB caught bronchitis and went to the doctor on Wednesday and I caught a cold a day later. It wasn't that cold in Knoxville, in the 40s, but sleeping in a strange bed, not knowing how to control the temp, and handing folks all those coins that they want to buy for wholesale has gotten us both sick the last two years.

    The cold and flu season has been terrible. I have had a terrible cold and bronchitis for the past 2 weeks that has been kicking my behind. I missed work for a couple of days and maybe Monday
