After three years in alternate venues (the Harborside Center in Clearwater, the USF Sundome in Tampa, and the Manatee Civic Center in Palmetto), Repticon is proud to have hosted the return of the ORIGINAL Tampa show to its longtime home at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. 2009's show was held at the Charles M. Davis Special Events Center, a clean and brightly lit modern facility that can be configured as the show grows to accommodate a layout even larger than the traditional Entertainment Hall venue at the Fairground. Building on the decade-plus history of one of Florida's longest running shows, Repticon was pleased to offer a 2009 venue that offers exhibitors and and attendees the best of both words: an upgraded building in a familiar location. In June 2009, this phenomenal show ran to enormous crowds that were enthusiastic about the sold out vendor offerings. After a great show at the USF Sun Dome in February of 2010, the Fairgrounds has now become available as the permament home for this show, and the Florida International Reptile Show, aka Repticon Tampa, WILL return to this location in 2010 on June 12 & 13, with dates in September to follow.. Check back for further information as it develops regarding this most dynamic of all Repticon Shows and a show certainly not to be missed in the ongoing slate of Florida reptile shows!
