Hello Dealers:
This email is being sent to all dealers of all Tucson Gem Show venues (listed below) that are proceeding with their 2021 events.
Myself and all of the other show promoters wanted everyone of you to receive this announcement first, and at the same time, so that everyone has the same correct information.
Even though most shows have received their event waivers, it is the case that America’s / Arizona’s increasing infection and hospitalization rates now make the original dates untenable.
For that reason, we anticipate that Pima County will rescind all the waivers in the coming days.
Therefore, we have decided together to POSTPONE THE TUCSON GEM SHOWCASE BY EXACTLY 10 WEEKS.
Any later and the outdoor temperatures would be too high for the tent shows. Any sooner would have straddled Easter (April 4).
We considered the following in reaching this difficult decision.
·  It will require several months to administer 100 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as well as tens of millions more doses by the soon-to-be-approved second vaccine by Moderna.
·  Meanwhile, other countries are immunizing their citizens as well.
·  In addition, experts anticipate that this third wave will subside with the warming spring temperatures.
Therefore, we expect April to have a much lower infection rate and as a result, travel restrictions may well be eased and life will start returning to normal.
As we stated, you are the first to receive this announcement.
Please share this information widely and let your customers know. Many who planned to stay away in late January may now choose to come in mid-April.
We look forward to hosting you then!
Kind regards,
Your Show Promoter
