I wonder, if there is any specialized meteorite fair in the U.S.,
like Ensisheim or Gifhorn in Europe?

If not, why not to bring one into being?
I'd expect the largest number of collectors from the worldwide collectorship
to live in USA.

To attract more dealers it would helpful, if it would take place in a week
before or after and not to far from another larger rock show, so that they
could do two fairs on one trip.

Mid-June is reserved for the Ensisheim/St.Marie shows, end of Oct for Munich
and I hear Tokyo has a certain acceptance at meteorite dealers.

Yip, and the IMCA could held their annual meetings there too...

Just an idea.
Martin

Hello Adam,

I wholly concur with your feelings about the Tucson rip-off hotels. I
also find that the costs of flying and car rental, or possibly driving
from Orlando, added to the ridiculous hotel prices make me opt out of
attending, and I just yesterday cancelled my Motel 6 reservations. Maybe
I'll take a vacation with my significant other to a European Show for a
change this year. Funny that so many European collectors have said they
plan to attend Tucson this year. I hope all have a blast regardless of
the room and transportation prices.

David
