On behalf of the 2010 FOHBC National Show Committee, here's a BIG THANK YOU to all of our Souvenir Program advertisers! We appreciate your support.

I am listing them in the opposite order they appeared in the Souvenir Program (back cover first, etc.) (Some ads are too wide for this blog's layout - just click on the ad to see it in full):

More Pix from the National Show

Here's another group for the show photo album -- this is the big sign that was in front of the Roberts Centre:



Here are some "candid camera"  shots of people and the showroom:



Ralph Finch and John Wolffe

Diane and Ed Kuskie

Jerry McCann and Tom Sproat

It wasn't all bottles - we had advertising and paper dealers too. I love the litho calendar with the children - so colorful.



George Judy and the big amber glass BELL - anyone have any info about this piece? Possibly created for an Exposition...?  



Terry Crislip

Some of the Jelly Jammers Club members.

If you have pix you'd like to share here, please let me know!
