Countdown to Canyonville
With just a couple of weeks to go 'till the doors open, we
figured an update is in order.
The weather has cooled off and we've actually had a day or
two of light rain to soften the blow of this summers scorching heat. The air
has cleared now that the fires are all but out, and we're enjoying crystal blue
skies. The trees are starting to turn and the fall colors should be peaking the
weekend of the show.
Things
are pretty much status quo with regards to the show. Table sales are close to
last year at this time and, as always, there's a few procrastinators that will
wait until the last few days to reserve a spot.
We are donating one table to the Federation (FOHBC) to help promote
membership. Ferd Meyer, president of the Federation, has indicated that it will
be manned for part of the day on Saturday.
I'm
attaching a full page copy of the show flyer. Just click on it, and
it will open in a new window where you can print it out. If you have time, and
are so inclined, burn a few copies and hand them out to junk shops, antique
malls, second hand stores and what have you. Every piece of advertising helps!
We'll be going online today with a last minute push via Craigslist as well.
One
area, which is an ongoing challenge, involves the displays. I'm asking everyone
to consider setting up a display. It doesn't need to be elaborate, and I'm
doing away with display judging this year to take away the stigma of
competition and "winners and losers". Plus, each displayer will
receive a $20~ bill as a thank you for their efforts. Feel free to talk up
displaying with your fellow collectors as well.
We're going to set up one open display space for Oregon bottles / insulators, and would ask that each collector / dealer bring an item that is either embossed Oregon , or was dug in Oregon
We've got room for up to another five displays, and it sure would be nice to fill the spaces.
Thanks,
Bruce

This show promises to be another great one with some great glass from dealers and the walk ins. I regret that I will not be able to attend this year and it's killing me! I will be chasing mule deer in eastern Oregon with my ailing Dad. We drew tags for a unit which we have been trying to draw for years. I look forward to reports of Cassin's walking in for sale.
