We LOVE it! It seems to be the "tactile" show - where it's easier to touch and feel the goods than some shows.<br /><br />Also, due to our travel arrangements (we used to fly into Phoenix and drive down) - and new-found love of Tucson restaurants, we do get a car. We like the flexibility. You're right though, parking can be tough. The first year at the HoliDome we paid $10 to park - in a location just a few hundred yards from acres and acres of free parking! Lesson learned.<br /><br />Finally Robyn, thank you so much for being a fabulous resource for all things Tucson and Jewelry!The Lone Fishermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06656768699538026953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875325186336119095.post-27713427909586794802011-02-01T08:56:56.978-08:002011-02-01T08:56:56.978-08:00Thanks for good stuff.Thanks for good stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875325186336119095.post-81330259026082113952011-01-29T12:03:40.785-08:002011-01-29T12:03:40.785-08:00Thanks Calla - I realized after the first year tha...Thanks Calla - I realized after the first year that most people had unrealistic views of the shows - it isn't as intimidating as most lead you to believe...except the Holidome!
