Welcome to FUN

Welcome to the home page for the 18^th Summer FUN Convention. This years theme is Raising the Next Generation of Numismatists.

The 18^th Summer FUN Convention is rapidly approaching and now I have some info on what you can expect at Summer FUN 2024. We have invited the U.S Mint to be at Summer FUN. The Piedmont Gold Panner will also be onsite. We will have a total of 4 Educational Programs two on Thursday and two on Friday. You can review them on the Summer FUN convention Tab. Bob Russell is also working on getting a nice selection Educational Displays. As he receives the confirmations of the subject matter they will be listed with descriptions.

FUN will be running a shuttle bus service from the parking lot in the back of the convention center to the front door of the WA1 hall on the West Concourse. On Thursday and Friday the shuttle will run every 20 minutes from 8:00 am to 7:30 pm. On Saturday it will run every 20 minutes from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm. The parking lot pickup point is the large lobby facility in the center of the convention center. Look for the FUN representative in the ORANGE shirt.
