The most valuable events in life are those that ultimately benefit everyone involved.

After tallying all receipts, final coin sales, and donations, we are delighted to announce the conclusive results of our exhibition.

We are thrilled to report that our collective efforts have yielded over $10,000, representing a remarkable 66% increase from the previous year's proceeds.

This year's beneficiaries include Smoky Mountain Autism Success Hub and the Pigeon Forge Jr. High Girl's Wrestling and other sports programs.

We appreciate the kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to host this event. For us, the greatest reward lies in giving back to the community, fostering new collectors, and paying tribute to the pioneers who established the standards for patch and coin collectors.

We are already in the planning stages to expand the show, improve table holder support, and assist additional community groups in need.

June 5, 2027 will be the date for those who would like to plan ahead.

This years show was an amazing gathering of our hobby’s best Makers, designers and collectors.

All who attended as either a table holder or attendee continues to make this a great casual, family friendly event that is one of the few that is consistently presented and hosted to fully benefit local charities in our area.

Through the effort of everyone sponsoring, being a table holder, purchasing by either pre-sale or at the show or just down right donating, we will be able to eclipse last years totals by more than 15% to both our local autism charity as well as the girl’s wrestling/soccer teams at the school.

We would like to once again send our heartfelt thanks to the companies who helped support and sponsor the show this year. Without your help and generous support, we would not be able to gather and give back as collectors while we enjoy our hobby.

A special “Shout Out” to the winner, our youngest table holder, of the Siren Symbols MEGA box of great coins and patches.

Great Job Siren Symbols in paying it forward with their drawing!

The picture doesn’t begin to show how happy the winner is and how these kind of things encourage the next generation of collector and designer.

Once again we beat last years numbers in all categories of funds raised for Smoky Mountain Autism Success Hub and for the Young Lady Athletes in Soccer and Wrestling for Pigeon Forge Jr. High School.

More details of these successes to be posted in the following weeks.

Thank you to all table holders, sponsors and vendors for continuing to make this the best little patch and coin show in the Smoky Mountains.

With all the texts and calls, we thought it would be a good idea to show some of the small fun items that we will be giving away at random and doing blind drawings for our vendors.

Our friends at Smoky Mountain Knife Works were so kind to send us a few things to appreciate our table holders and to show their support for our show.

Smoky Mountain Knife Works has supported every show that we have been involved with because we support our local school and Smoky Mountain Autism Success Hub (SMASH).

We are checking out lists, calling our friends who support us and packing our own vehicles to make sure we try our best to ensure we put our best foot forward.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

To say that the Show Fever is starting to rise is an understatement.

Please take note that the location at the Pigeon Forge Jr. High School has an address of 300 Wears Valley.

The Gym where our event is being held is on the backside of the main entrance and there is no connection via roadway.

Please utilize the below diagram and address to find the gym entrance and our show.

When you arrive, take a deep breath and leave your stress in the car and enjoy meeting and chatting with new and old collectors alike.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon. More posts to follow.

With all the texts, calls and e-mail from our table holders and collectors who wished they were table holders this week, we are getting spun up and beginning the pre-show prep.

With the release of the HD Coins amazing design supporting our show, we are showing our small run (100 only) of our show patch this year. These will only be available at the show only and all profit will benefit SMASH.

Please swing by and see Richard at his table to grab one of these before they are all gone. We appreciate all of our vendors and attendees and are excited to see old and new friends alike.
