About
Potomac Promotions, LLC
Potomac Promotions, LLC was founded by Paul
Singleton and Wayne Herndon to bring quality collector and
dealer friendly coin and currency shows to the Metro Washington area.
Paul, who passed away in November 2015, was a veteran show promoter
who brought his decades of
exposition proficiency to the partnership. Paul
understood the requirements for a well run show--from set
up to tear down. As a result his shows had always
been some of the best run shows in the country. On the
other hand, Wayne brought his promotional savvy and
organizational expertise to efficiently expose the shows to a
larger group of dealers and collectors as well as give
Potomac Promotions'
shows a smooth, appealing personality unmatched in the
industry.
The
Annandale Coin Show was
Potomac Promotions' first venture. The Annandale Coin Show is
held (currently) twice a year (in June and
December) at the Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC)
in Annandale, Virginia. NVCC is a clean, modern campus
and easily accessible from the Capital Beltway. The
show is held in the gymnasium of the Ernst Community
Cultural Center. As a result, the bourse is well lit,
climate controlled, ADA-accessible and large enough to
provide ample room to meander through the aisles.
Potomac Promotions has contracted with NVCC to provide two
parking lots for free parking for show dealers and
attendees.
Potomac Promotions second
project was the Dulles Coin and Currency Expo a four-day national
show to replace the former
Crab State Coin Show. The
new show was bigger, better and with a new name and location. This
new show was located just minutes away from Washington Dulles
International Airport serving the nation's capital. The show was housed in the
North Hall of the Dulles Expo and Conference Center, a spacious hall
(the second largest convention facility in the Washington area)
with abundant free parking for the show's dealers and visitors.
After a 4 year run, the Dulles Coin and Currency Expo
was cancelled in 2011 when the The Dulles Expo and Conference Center
sold the North Hall and it was converted into a Walmart store. |
