The Minnesota Stamp Expo organisers have had to cancel the show this year. The reason being that work that is being done to the complex will not be completed in time making it unavailable.

Renovation may lead to increased facility rates.

You could be right Al, and that could be a problem. I know the cost for a table at the show was quite expensive as it was.

I just hear more about costs going up for shows and having to find new venues.
