2002 Show and Sale Revisited
by Kari Kenefick

While three months have passed and a new season is upon us, a look back on the 2002 “Show and Sale”, our annual educational exhibit and fundraiser, is certainly in order. For the many club members that generously volunteered their time to set- Just a few of the volunteers...Left: It wouldn’t be a Show and Sale without Bob and Lee at the Registration table. How many hands did they stamp? During the day we had more than 800 people pass through the gate. Right: Rose and Nicol examine a piece of pottery at the increasingly popular Evaluation table.

WPA Press Issue XIV up, run and teardown the exhibit and booths, for all the hours of advertising and soliciting dealers, and all the planning that goes into this annual production from January until the big day in August, many persons deserve a pat on the back! Here are a few select photos as reminders of the beautiful exhibit we had, and just a few of our wonderful volunteers. Enjoy and congratulations on the kudos we’ve heard from around the country on what a nicely run, well-attended Show and Sale it was.


Redwing Exhibit Wares.
