The 37th annual bottle show
The Club has now held its Annual Bottle Show at the Neil Blaisdale Center in Honolulu for the past 5 years. The Club has associated with a collectible show so there are lots of items for all to see. The Club is given a special section and there was a good representation from all Islands. There were a number of wonderful displays. Club shirts were again produced by David's Custom Roofing & Painting, Inc. (808 833-1663)

As always sales were brisk and talk of digs and findings were the talk of the show. Bottle collectors from all the islands and from the mainland enjoyed the show and brought their stories. It is always fun to see friends and fellow diggers and this show was no exception.
