North Carolina Show?

[phonogfp]

The APS had an inquiry this afternoon asking where and when the North Carolina show will be. Does anyone have an answer we can offer?

There hasn't been one since 2015 and I don't think we will have another one, since there is a lack of interest on the part of dealers...

Thanks Curt.

From what I have recently heard, there will be a North Carolina Show sometime in the spring of 2020. We are doing a combined show with the local radio collectors who have had a show in Charlotte for many years. It might be a good chance to cross market phonographs to radio collectors. They seem to have a good following... I'll post information on the date as soon as it materializes...

That would be fantastic. I would like to know how many members of the forum would be attending it.

As far as I know, Curt is correct. The Carolinas antique phonograph show will be held in conjunction with the Carolinas antique radio show at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Charlotte NC. Dates are March 26-28. The combined event is still sort of "coming together," so it will probably be a few weeks before any info is available online, but the radio club's website can be found at http://cc-awa.club/. Bob Barnes -- a member of this forum -- is the contact for the phonograph club. The annual CC-AWA radio show has historically been popular, with a bustling flea market and several hundred attendees (most from the southeast, obviously, but some from the mid-atlantic and even the northeast and midwest). It will be nice to have a phonograph show in the Carolinas again, and having it with a large antique radio club, at a convention-oriented venue just a few miles from a major airport, will be nice too.

Awesome and thanks I was wondering about that show. I think I will try to attend.

Thanks for the additional info, Grant... I just got the basic details from Bob Barnes and wasn't sure of the date.

Outstanding-- I always had a great time at the Charlotte Show and was sorry it had ended. I look forward to attending/selling in March. Keep us updated on the details, Curt and Bob.
