Thanks for your response Jim. Most chippers don't realize that while THEY may be able to attend back-to-back weekend shows... some dealers (or table holders) might not be able to do so ... especially if they are travelling any considerable distances.

Since your Reno show and Jim Munding's California show are competing for basically the same local dealer base, and a minimum of 20 tables is a must in order to make a local show worthwhile ... I can understand both Jim's wanting more of a space interval between show dates.

Bad weather considerations also makes an impact on a Reno area show ... where a show in California may not have as much a concern.
