2012 Findlay Bottle Show Info

2012 Findlay Bottle Show Date: Oct. 21, 2012

Show Chairman Fred Curtis has already got a signed contract with the Old Barn, so the 2012 Bottle Show is a definite GO! It will be on Sunday Oct. 21, 2012.

The 2011 show was a great success -- read about it here, w/lots of pix.

We are already working on making our 2012 show even better. Our first improvement is that the show will end an hour earlier, at 2pm on Sunday, which was requested by several dealers.

Summer Muncie 2012 FRUIT JAR GET TOGETHER - MUNCIE, INDIANA

''JAR~B~Q''
... or ...
''Meat in Muncie''

JULY 11 - 15, 2012

This year we're calling the 2012 Summer Muncie Fruit Jar Hotel-Show/Get-Together a JAR~B~Q!

That's because our favorite chef, "BBQ Bob" Rhineberger, is going to be cooking up a mess of meat for all you jar-nuts!

This fun event is FREE and open to all. If you like FRUIT JARS, and you haven't been to Muncie yet, make this the show you attend!

Stay at the hotel (rooms are not free, of course), or drive in for the day. If you are just coming for the day, we'll still feed you and give you space to sell your jars, too.

Hotel rooms go very quickly so make your room reservations NOW for this fun 5-day collectors event at the Signature Inn, 3400 N Chadam Ln Muncie IN. Phone for room reservations: 765-284-4200. Ask the manager, Jeff Bryan, for the jar show rate. Reserve now, even if you may have to cancel. Better than waiting too long, and not getting a room.

Collectors start arriving on Wednesday July 11th, and many stay through Sunday July 15th.

The whole shebang takes place at the hotel (NO free-standing show on Sunday, so you can stay up late on Saturday night, and sleep in on Sunday morning.)

It's all hotel, all the time, starting with supper on Wednesday right on through the cocktail party on Saturday night.

There'll be the every-day-and-night room-hop-shopping, a fun hospitality/party room offering complimentary lunch, supper and drinks, as well as special events (to be scheduled) which will include themed-group-discussions, seminars, the Jelly Jammers Club meeting and the MAFJBC meeting.

Saturday afternoon we'll hold a ''no-commission/no buyer's premium/no-fees-at-all/FREE auction'' to which anyone may consign their treasures. There's always some rare jars and advertising items put in the auction.
