| Exhibits Improve
by Larry Rowe, Exhibit Chairman |
|
It was encouraging to
have more people participate in exhibiting at the PNNA convention and coin show
this year. There was quite a variety of numismatic interest represented at the
show. I have been trying to find ways to reverse the steady decline of exhibits
over the past years, and am encouraged by the turn around. This does not mean
that there isn’t room for further improvement. Exhibiting is fun; try it next year!
We had the honor of
ANA Director Prue Fitts attending the show and entering an exhibit of her
own. Sadly, we will no longer have the services of Joe Boling in future
conventions. He has served as Chief Judge for many years. He is moving to
Indiana later this year, and will not be available for service. I wish to thank
Joe for his many years of dedication to PNNA. Thanks also to Eric Holcomb and
Arthur Fitts who served as judges.
Thanks to all who participated in exhibiting at the PNNA convention this year!

2006 PNNA / Willamette Coin Club Show Exhibits
by Larry Rowe, Exhibit Chairman
|
|
The second annual event was held October 14-15, 2006 in Portland.
This was the second year that a new fall show under the joint
sponsorship of the PNNA and WCC was held. In planning for this event,
no provisions for competitive exhibiting were made. There were no judges
available to judge, and no money was provided for awards. Therefore, it was
decided that there would only be non-competitive exhibits. Of course, fully competitive exhibits will continue at the
spring show in Tukwila. The PNNA provided table space, cases and security
for any exhibits brought to the Portland show. Larry encouraged any
exhibitor to display at the Portland show to obtain the experience and share
their collecting interest with the public.
