I'll be there early Saturday Morning, haven't missed one yet!

You gave me the itch to go out and look!

Hi Mike, you missed the point I was trying to make. The marble itself was made by Sam Hogue, with an "H" not Sam Rogue, with an "R", just trying to be helpful

Pretty sure the Cairo festival is May 7th

The marble maker would be Sam Hogue

Yes, we have it booked for August 13th for sure. Hope to see you there Clyde!

Just a reminder, the auction is this coming Saturday. There should be plenty of marbles for everyone!

That tower is pretty cool! We were told it was home-made by an Amish man, does all kinds of crazy stuff and has a xylophone staircase that makes music every time a marble rolls down the stairs.

A large Vitro. Wedding Cake?

We tried one on a Sunday and it did not go well. And some of us involved with the auction, have other commitments on Sunday mornings.

Another enormous collection being sold at auction in New Philly, Ohio Saturday March 12th, 2011 http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=1077294&kwd=&zip=44663&category=0

I was too busy to take any pictures, so many marbles and so little time! It was a fun time and no complaints from anyone that I know of. The Hotel gets an A+ from me, perfect place for a marble show. Something over 60 rooms by friday. Some arriving as early as Monday! Mostly enjoyed going out to eat and talk marbles with some good friends. The summer show is August 13th and should be an awesome turnout.

He loved attending shows and so did I, I can't even begin to count how many times we did lunch or dinner together, all over the Country, from New Philly to Las Vegas! He will definitely be missed, and the shows will be a little quieter without him. He always made me laugh! Rest in peace my friend.

One of the best shows in the country is only 2 weeks away! I'll be there in 10 days! Checking in on Tuesday the 8th

Anyone who is waiting to reserve a room needs to do it now, or there is a chance that you won't get a first floor room.

It will be worth every mile!

Brian and I met with the hotel today, room reservations need to be made by Aug. 3rd if you want the discount rate and the first floor. (Aug. 3rd is next tuesday) The show is only 3 weeks from now!

What does "mint+" mean? Better than perfect?
