drgg Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Monday afternoon update; Right now, we have about 15 rooms lined up and about 16-17 tables for Saturday; we are getting close to capacity on tables; please let me know if you've decided to attend; the group room rate is still good; although I'm still anxious, this show is shaping up to be good! Rich, good to talk to you and looking forward to meeting you and that new designed marble; some think it's time for Chuck G. to sell some of his 1000s of Peltiers (and a few of his hypops) Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsantaclaus Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 We are in Knoxville, TN tonight on our way!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleClueless Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I am so bummed I won't be there. I have been leaning hard on my Dad to go but he's a stubborn ole Missouri Mule. He has about 101 excuses but none of them sound very good to me. Next year can you have it in September so I can come? I am sure you will have a fabulous show and I'm so jealous I could spit!!!

drgg Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Suzie, I recall talking to you some time ago. Chuck G is going to monitor the show and provide me with feedback, one area will be date; I'll also get feedback from our sellers; I support all shows and don't want to schedule the same time; September may have some issues for our area; I suspect that once your dad got here, he would be ok; your drive isn't bad, great people, marbles, and food might convince him; If you want, I'll talk to him personally; give me a call tonight Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gametech Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'll be headed down from Springfield early Saturday morning. Looking forward to the show and getting to meet a few faces from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgg Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thursday night update: we had nine rooms open for trading and a lot of activity; there are some incredible marbles here; I held a green guinea, and some jaw dropping hybrid popeyes and oxbloods, and killer Peltiers here; I talked with Rich Shelby until after midnight; he is an extremely knowledgeable and very personable fellow; his work is incredible; his room was very busy; his wife is hopefully going to take some pics at the show; more folks coming in today; we are at capacity at 20 tables for Saturday; if you are within driving distance of us, come on; you will not be disappointed. Gametech, look forward to meeting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgg Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 haven't updated due to family illness; here's a brief update; we had 18 tables and between 200-300 people come through; folks were still coming after noon; I don't think we had big buyers but lots of people making some buys, looking and learning; most of our sellers were smiling and said they did well; I have a new profound appreciation for those of you who organize and hold marble shows; I have a list of suggestions to improve the show also; marble people are really nice and helpful folks; thanks to Rich and his sweet wife for some photos; I hope all of you get to meet Rich at some time; an incredible guy! thanks also to Chuck G who helped with a lot of IDs; people brought in tons of marbles! (that's me trying to ID marbles a couple of nice ladies brought in; they had a blast and bought a few marbles) will post more info later Gary Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
