[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 227231, member: 3"] Aw, ya got me all worked up there. I went to that Reno pipe show, I thought it was fairly well attended. I remember a lot of the carvers saying how they were encouraged by it. I assume it was just a matter of economics as to why there wasn't another - Pipe makers Emporium was the main sponsor, the show was in a casino, probably not enough $$ made by the main sponsor directly from the show to warrant funding it again. Couldn't have been cheap to rent that place. I attended a show in Fresno before that, it was held in an old Grange hall or some sort of thing. Funky old place, it was perfect. I'd think that there would be plenty of opportunities to find accomodations that weren't too expensive, a casino isn't really necesary. But, that's a local show looking at local attendance, like those east coast and midwest local shows we always read about. I guess it's just a matter of there not being enough interest here like there is there. Pity, really. The only show west of KC that I know of is the Vegas show, and I have absolutely no intention of going to Vegas. I'd sooner fly to Chicago or New York for one of those big shows. [/QUOTE]
