CHICAGO. Crowds packed the 16th SOFA CHICAGO Opening Night gala on Nov. 5, with Festival Hall security estimating over 3200 - 3500 persons attending over the course of the evening. 31,000 persons visited the fair during its three day run, sponsored by Chubb Personal Insurance. Mark Lyman, Founder/ Director of SOFA fairs in Chicago, New York and Santa Fe says, "It was exciting to see the growing number of 'next generation' buyers on the show floor." He adds that many dealers reported not only new and younger clients, but also a palpable rise in buying confidence with a strong bounce-back in sales. "Collectors gave themselves permission to buy again--at all price levels."
