LAS VEGAS – Coverings 2022 wrapped up a successful show in early April, drawing some 18,000 attendees, or 18% more than last summer’s event. However, two other shows haven’t been that lucky.

And Xiamen Stone Fair organizers are citing COVID-19 for the postponement of their show but are optimistic about rescheduling later this year.
