Ok does anyone know which is considered the Largest Rubber Stamp Convention?? Los Angeles, Las Vegas, somewhere else?
Anyone ever been to the Vegas one??? I would really like to plan a trip for maybe next year with some friends to go to the largest one there is.
Im sure Vegas would be a good one, cause well... ITS VEGAS!! LOL
Just wondering if anyone knows
P.S. This has NOTHING to do with stamping, but I am just sitting here thinking OMG!!! Dont know if anyone watches the Duggard Family who have 17 children, they have been on TLC channel. But she is pregnant AGAIN!!!! Number 18 due in 09!!! YIKES!!
Okay....I have been to Carson, CA, Las Vegas (spring, not fall), Orlando, FL, Spokane, WA., and a lot of smaller ones. Vegas is great.....cuz, like you said, IT'S VEGAS, BABY! It used to be that Carson, CA was the biggest, but, since there are now so many, the number of vendors at Carson has dwindled so that I don't know if there is a BIGGEST any more. But, no matter where you go, check the vendor list. Some of them may not be your 'style'. I've been to a couple that only had 'artsy fartsy' stamps and that's not my style, so didn't purchase much. HTH
The best show I have ever been to is the Great American scrapbook show in Arlington, TX. People come in from all over the states. You can check out their website here http://www.greatamericanscrapbook.co....aspx?ShowId=6
I have been to the Carson show, that was about 15 yrs ago tho before I moved to Oregon. That one was great!! I saw Carol Duval shopping there even LOL Well, it just might be Vegas!!!
I am very interested in this thread...my friend and I have been trying to find this out for a couple of years. We always go to Stampaway in Cincinnati in August...approx 50 vendors in 2 floors of the Sharonville convention center. Fabulous vendors! We spoke with one of the vendors who happened to be at the Mesa show in March who travels the country to participate in many shows. His opinion was that Stampaway and the show in Akron, Ohio were the biggest. Hth!
I went to the one in Akron it was amazing 3 days one day of classes 2 days of exhibits. There were also tons of make and takes along with demostrations. It is called adventures in stamping there is a link but I can't post it but just plop the name in a search and it should come up.

Reason: added info
I think it is Carson CA as though it has shrinked, quality companies are those that participate. I think they will return to jurying where a company needs to show merit to be included. They are considering it. Most show companies are now happy to get anyone. One show had people trying on bras for sale. No, I didn't make that up.
Yes the Washington one, is coming up this weekend. They do have 3 companies, Magenta, Stampscapes and Stamps by Judith that I love that will be there. They werent at the one in Oregon. Im still thinking of going there, might be a 3 hour drive.
I work a booth at expos and I am going to have to agree with crafyc...Stampaway in Cinncy is AWESOME and so is Akron, OH. Now, Adventures in Stamping does one in Oct but it is a one day show and it is not very good at all. The other nice one for scrapbooking is the Mega Meet in Novi, MI.
Largest Rubber Stamp Convention??
