The Federation Board met on Saturday morning and had a preview of the new Bottles and Extras Magazine and met Kathy
Sathe, the new editor. Found inside was lots of information and bottle stories.
Saturday morning the "Jelly Jammers" held their annual meeting and Saturday afternoon, 128 collectors gathered for the show and tell followed by an auction, where buyers and sellers deal with each other. The club just furnished the auctioneer.
At 6:30 am Sunday morning, the displayers assembled eight beautiful and educational displays. Bill Dudley's display of George Moore stoneware won the Federation Ribbon for most educational. A rainbow of colorful Globe jars by Greg and Garret Spurgeon was the Dealers Choice.
When the doors opened at nine o'clock a crowd rushed in and lingered for a long time.
Dealers were happy with their sales and attendees expressed great satisfaction with their purchases, and also there were some new first time dealers who were very satisfied with the show.
