Merchandise Information
A wide variety of merchandise is always on hand at the show. Early American Pattern Glass, Carnival Glass, Depression Glass, Elegant Glass, Kitchen Glass, and 40's-50's-60's Glass will all be represented. In addition, various patterns of American made dinnerware will also be there. However, since the inventory of each dealer is always changing, it is impossible to determine if a specific pattern or piece will show up. We can guarantee that everything for sale will be authentic, antique merchandise. No reproductions are allowed. We are proud of the quality and integrity of all our dealers, and stake the reputation of our show on their shoulders. Please come visit us to see what the dealers will have for you to buy this year.

Dates, Times and Admission
Our show is always the first Sunday in August, and the preceding Saturday, normally the first weekend of August. In 2011, the show dates will be Saturday, August 6th, and Sunday, August 7th. Our show hours are longer on Saturday than they are on Sunday. Doors will open at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and close at 5:00 p.m. On Sunday, we open at 11:00 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m.
Our building at the fairgrounds is totally air-conditioned and handicapped accessible. We feature door prizes every hour and good food to help you through a busy day of shopping. We will also have Dr. As-Is on hand Saturday to grind chips out of your glass. Pat & Sharon Ervin will present a wide variety of books for sale. Their inventory concentrates on glassware, dinnerware, pottery, and some price guides.
Also this year, the National Depression Glass Association (NDGA) will be displaying their "Pitcher Collection". The Collection was established one year ago in honor of "Our Lost Children". As pitchers come in all shapes, sizes, and colors; so do our children. There are currently over one hundred pitchers that have been donated in memory or honor of children.
Admission is $7.00 for adults, and children under 12 are free. There is no charge for parking at the fairgrounds. Plan on coming to see us, and spend the whole day....we'd love to have you!
Glass Seminars
We will once again have seminars for you, but we don't have the topics set yet. Come back later for further information.
Glass Identification
As we did in 2010, we will be offering Glass Identification at the show in 2011. We will have our "panel of experts" ready to do their best to identify pieces and patterns of antique glassware, ranging from the late 1800's to the 1960's. This service will be available from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We ask that you limit yourself to three pieces for this process. If you wish to participate, we'll have you sign in at the door, and pick up a number. We'll call numbers in groups of ten. We've found this to be an effective system at other shows--you can still shop the show instead of waiting in a line! We can't guarantee that we'll be able to ID each and every piece, but we'll give it our best shot. All glass dealers love to play "Name That Glass"!!
Guest Authors
We are pleased and proud to once again have Danny Cornelius and Don Jones with us as our guest authors. They have written two books so far, and more are "in the works" as they say. Currently, they are the authors of American Pattern Glass Table Sets and Early American Pattern Glass Cake Stands & Serving Pieces. Danny and Don have been in the business for many years, and can answer almost any questions on Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG). They will have their books with them for you to purchase, and they'll be happy to autograph them for you.
