Are YOU interested in creating an exhibit for the 2013 Summer F.U.N. Show?
If you have numismatic related material and it has an educational value then we need and request your presence at Summer FUN 2013. FUN will provide a dedicated exhibit area, display case and security for the exhibits. As an exhibitor you simply bring your material and set up a display. For a single subject display you can have up to seven cases. If you have more than one subject you can have more than one display.
Summer FUN exhibiting is informal and non-competitive. There is no requirement to get all the details such as completeness, accuracy, balance or eye appeal perfect. It is time to gain experience and give you exhibit a "tune-up" in preparation for the FUN 2014 show happening in Orlando. There are numerous experienced exhibitors, even a few ANA certified judges, at Summer FUN who are always ready to give pointers on how to make your exhibit a better one.
