The Sacramento National Souvenir Program, at 140 pages including covers, was the largest and nicest program by the Federation ever. Certainly to become a collectors piece.
FOHBC 2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo | Early Dealer Registration
Early Dealer Registration | Lions Gate Hotel, Club Ballroom Foyer, Thursday afternoon, August 4th, 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Registration packets and complementary souvenir programs were available on Thursday afternoon at the Federations tables adjacent at the Lions Gate Hotel Club Ballroom Foyer. Folks could get their dealer or early admission packet before the crowd. The audience was also able to join or renew their FOHBC membership and purchase FOHBC merchandise. What a great way to display the convention logo as everyone had to wear their lanyard.
All photographs are by our official show photographer, Angelina (Gina) Pellegrini unless otherwise noted.
