2012 FOHBC Expo Reno Bottle Show Reports

Swirls, Whirls, Twist and Twirls display by Dyane Anthony.

The Reno Show was a big success:

"...As the clock ticked down to the 1 p.m. grand opening on July 27, 2012, excitement ran high for the much anticipated three-day bottle extravaganza known as EXPO 2012 in Reno, Nev., at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino. A crowd of 600 dealers from the United States, Australia and England, along with 160 “early bird” attendees could barely wait for the show to start ...."
