Today at 1 p.m. the Long Beach Fred Hall Show will open its doors to the public, although some ticket buyers will already be inside for some seminars. It's the longest-running, biggest show of its kind on the coast. I hope to visit the show tomorrow, if I'm recovered from a head cold that whacked me upside the noggin when I awoke Sunday morning. Today I'm halfway back to normal, so who knows? Here's a shot from last year's event. It's a great place to take the family.

The Fred Hall Show will be held March 6-10, 2013 at the Long Beach Convention Center located at 300 East Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802. Admission to this year's show is: Adults: $15; Seniors: (62 and over) $14; Children 15 and under: Free with a paid adult; Active Military with ID: Free.
