Tampa Show - March 8 & 9

Has anyone been to the Tampa show? We, my bf and I, are thinking about taking a weekend trip out that way and incorporating the reptile show. (Okay, so the going to the expo is really what is driving the idea.)

We have been to several small local shows, however, we have also been to the Orlando FIRE show and Daytona before, just wanted to get a feel for what size of show to expect.

P.S. I see there are a few Florida bp.net regulars registered as vendors, so the outlook is looking good :-)

Tampa show is a great show, around the same size as FIRE. I've got tables H127 - H135. Please stop by and say Hi....

Ill probably be going.

Nice! The FIRE show was really enjoyable. Cool beans, we're DEFINITELY going to go to Tampa now. I'll be sure to say hello.

I will be there!

Im there! my bday is the 2nd, so i think it will be a nice present to me from my other half to buy me something while were there...haha.

Sounds like fun, I'll see if I can sneak away to it...what's the website for it so I can get directions?

Thanks, Neil! :)

I'm so glad that I came across this post. Im not far from Tampa so I will for sure be attending! Can't wait!

I'll be attending. I have a similar question about the Repticon show in Orlando on Feb. 23-24. Any info on that one?

If you had to choose between the two shows, the Tampa show vs. the Orlando show, which would you choose? Both are about equal distance from where I live so that is not a factor.

That's what I'm trying to figure out :) I've never been to the Orlando show.

Nothing against repticon at all, I actually do there shows in Orlando when they schedule them correctly. They are much smaller shows and selection is more limited and not many balls there. I was not at the last one in October because it fell on the same weekend as the NARBC Tinley show and this one falls on the same weekend as the NARBC arlington show.

If its one or the other go to Tampa
