I've been attending for quite a few years and I felt this was one of the best. Lots of old friends and lots of old phonographs..... The banquet on Saturday night was the biggest ever, with well over 100 people attending. Robin and Joan Rolfs came in from Wisconsin and gave a very amusing presentation on phonograph dolls and toys, and Nipper. In fact, their presentation intrigued me so much that when I stumbled upon a combination 'Ragtime Rastus' and 'the Boxers' phonograph toy in the original box early Sunday morning I immediately bought it. I blamed them for provoking me to spend money I hadn't planned on! But that's one of the things that makes these shows so much fun. You never know what small (or large) treasures may turn up, and it's always a treat to learn new things. All it all it was well worth the long drive and I'm already looking forward to next year.
