September 9 and Friday, September 10, and "room hop" to visit with collectors and dealers who are familiar with the history behind one of the worlds oldest toys; or visit with some of the nations most popular contemporary marble artists and see the newest and most beautiful art trends in glass. This is also a wonderful way to bring your marbles to discuss and learn!

Also, Saturday, September 11, we will have the dealers gathered in the hotel banquet rooms to buy, sell, trade or to appraise your treasures. It's free and educational and fun too!

The Kokomo show was started in Kokomo to introduce to many marble collectors the Kokomo marbles which were made through the Kokomo Opalescent Glass Factory in the 1920's and 30's (which is still in existence), and although the marbles were only made for a very short time there, they are collectible as well as rare.

In conjunction to these marbles, you will find German handmades from the late 1800s to early machine mades in the early 1900s to the newly made and collectible hand and machine mades.

So please come join the fun! We look forward to meeting you and sharing our wonderful hobby.

This year we are having a marble raffle for ALL participants to the show. All guests attending Saturdays show will receive a raffle ticket to put in on their choice towards a number of marbles donated by the vendors. In exchange for their donations, each vendor will receive 10 tickets towards their choice of marble. All participants will also have the opportunity to purchase additional tickets for $1. Participants do not need to be present to win but they must be able to respond by phone to pick up their prize.
