Thank you all for your kind words.
It would be easy to not put as much time into this show next year. But that is not the way to make something the "best'.I will still make the dozen or so trips to Tucson, meet with people from the convention center, and try and arrange an internet feed to show the demos next year on a live web site.
Our first show twelve years ago was a learning expierience. We have evolved nicely.We will continue to get better for both the seller and the buyer.
And I would like to thank those that really made the show work. The exhibitors. Without good people exhibiting in my shows, I would not have anything more than a decent show to advertize.I have always tried to be the best that I can be. My exhibitors are the only reason that I can call my shows the Best Bead Shows.
I will be adding space for about 30-40- more people in the show. The show last week had 99 exhibitors in 130 large spaces. This was in a hall 30,000 sq ft. Next year the show will be in all three main hall-90,000.
One third of the space will be for classes on stinging beads, wire wrapping, fusing glass, and working with PMC.
The one third that was the original show will be expanded half way into the middle third of the second hall. This will make the selling part of the show about half again as big but with only 30-40 new people.The one half of the middle hall that is not being used for the bead show or the classes will be used as an area with tables to eat food from the two large consession stands or to sit and take a break while walking the show.
This will make the show have about 130-140 exhibitors in a large hall with laots of classes.
I am looking for people to teach classes next year.If interested, please e-mail me a proposal that lists what you teach, how many students at a time, the course cost, and if there is a kit fee.
There will be two or three demo torch areas going during the show.One will be set up to play on a torch using an oxy concentrator from Unlimited Oxy.
Thanks again to all those that made the show a sucess.

Hey David,
Most here may not know who you are. Could you post a picture of one of your pieces?I am sure people here would like to see some of your work. Something large.
Glad you enjoyed the show.
