Why No Major Stamp Shows In The Fall?

I'm an officer in a national hobby organization that bridges other hobbies such as stamps, paper money and ephemera. As we look at show schedules and decide where to have a presence, there always seems to be a dearth of major stamp shows from about mid-Sept. until Florex in December. This is also true for coin shows.

Why the gap? Is this a traditional lull period? I would think that shows in the South or Southwest would do well during this period.

Thoughts?

Greg, what's the name of this organization? IMO, stamps + paper money + ephemera shows are *the* future.

There are several WSP shows within the timeframe you mentioned. Go to https://stamps.org/events/events-calendar and then do a web page text search for "WSP".
