Dear List Members,

I was shocked to hear that the Tucson Gem and Mineral show is no longer the
world's largest. It looks like China is in first place with attendance
figures of over 380,000 for a four day event in 2015 compared to less than
40,000 for Tucson.

Maybe I should attend this year to add support for this American show that
has been running since 1955 while the Chinese show has only existed for a
mere 3 years.
