The August 18, 2012 Urbana Bottle and Paper Show was a big success.

Kudos to the organizers, Steve Goddard and John Bartley, for combining the two compatible subjects into one show this year. Over 100 dealers were set up in the 2 large buildings, with bottles and all kinds of advertising and paper ephemera.

The Urbana Fairgrounds is a perfect location, on HWY 68, midway between Springfield and Bellefontaine. Just a 2-hour-or-so drive from Ft. Wayne, Toledo, Cinci., Columbus, Mansfield, etc.

And there's plenty of room for the show to grow, and grow. Make plans to attend next year's show. We'll keep you posted here.

Below are just a few snapshots. I picked up a few treasures, and enjoyed visiting with everyone. The weather was perfection.
