The Best Bead Show

Was my first show. Enjoyed the products available and the venue. The only negative was the misleading registration info said “one free admission with paid parking receipt” but that wasn’t accurate. Then we were told upon entering that we needed to pay first and then get our money back at the end. But in reality we found out at the end that we would get that money off a purchase at one certain booth. That left us with a negative impression of the event at the end.

One of the middle vendors was very rude because I had a little bucket not realizing that everybody had their own bucket. She proceeded to yell out loud why did I have someone elses bucket very loud..How Disrespectful she was..

Loved everything but it would be nice if they had more bead vendors!!

Every show has less and less exhibitors. Miss those days when you would spend hours and hours visiting all those wonderful stands. One exhibitor confessed me that this would be his last one.What a pity! Is it because there is not much assistance? Please don't let it die.

They name vendors that are not really there because they have some of their merchandise. They charge a 3.00 dollars entrance fee if you register, 6.00 dollars if you don't register. The show is small and has a lot fewer vendors than the FREE bead show.

Thanks for coming to Tampa. There are no nearby bead shops in Tampa, I can always find beads or unique items at your show. I don't like the fair grounds venue. We usually have to pay to enter, but not this time. Thanks Judy and the Beads

Small show compared to many, but nice to get season started. Arrived 3:30 - vendors started packing up at 4:00! Asked for and was - begrudgingly - given partial refund on ticket & was told next time come earlier. Next time - likely won't come.

I like the entire setup. But I m looking forward for a more varieties of beads and other stuff like 1gram gold Earings , stylish watches etc.

The venue was very small, it only had 5 or 6 vendors, the outside doors were left open in 90 degree heat so it was too hot inside to shop in comfort, there was no where for customers to sit down to rest legs, and there was no one showing us where to park. Very poorly organized!

Those who preregistered should be one line, those who didn’t in another. I couldn’t get to 1 part of the show because the isle was just too small and there were always people in it.
