First impressions are coming in from the High Noon show in Mesa , Az. and it appears it went pretty well for the people I talked to that exhibited there.
All reported making multiple sales and there was a decent size crowd of buyers / collectors in attendance too.
Prices fetched on sold items were apparently realistic but nothing in the way of over the top.
This is the first High Noon show since it was sold to “Brian Lebel” and it looks like it picked up right where it left off , with both the dealer fair and auction turning out positive.
I guess this is a small affirmative sign on the way to a successful start to the new year !
Now what we need to do is keep the ball rolling !

One small thing worth at least a brief mention.
Next Thursday ( Feb. 5th ) is the opening night gala of the annual Caskey – Lees , S.F. Tribal Arts show.
The regular show runs through Sunday Feb. 8 and opens at 11am each day.
This used to be a fairly good show for the oriental rug crowd but at this point it's more of a general tribal art and collectors item fair with only a few rug dealers exhibiting .
Not much in the way of any overflow rug dealer activity rumored at the Capri motel this time around either but you never know since it's not a scheduled event.
