Hey everyone, my husband surprised me today by telling me that for my Christmas gift, he is going to send me to the Tuscon Show. What an awesome husband. My question is, does anyone have any reccomendations on where to stay, where to go, how to get around, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lynn

What a wonderful surprise. I hope you have a great time. If you look for the event online, there's usually a few links of local amenities.

Wow! I am happy for you. I use to live in and RV in St.David,AZ.. Snow's Little Bead Room in Benson, AZ took me to my first "Tucson Bead Feast". I think, my banker is still recuperating.

The prices were higher last year, but maybe this year that will be low again.

Its a great place to have a resale #.so you can buy wholesale at a shocking low price vs. retail.

Good Luck, Have fun!

I went to Quartzite, AZ last week, my first time, spend half day looking for Cabochon but I found only antiques ....all over the place.  I spend 3 hrs walking and look around for beads.

I don't know where to go and by the time I know where they sale beads it's almost too late cause I have only 2 hrs left to shop before the venders call for the day.

The good thing is I didn't spend too much money, the bad is that I don't have enough time to look!!!

I understand Tucson is very big one and hope I can make it!!!!
