2024 Convention - June 27-29
Convention will proceed in much the same manner as in past years, with preliminary events on Wednesday evening, Thursday during the day, and then the Glass Dash and Glass Show on Friday and Saturday. Banquets on both Friday and Saturday nights along with a very short membership meeting and the popular
"Bring and Brag" session, emceed by Lynn Welker.
Here is the complete
Convention Schedule for 2024.
What can you do if you arrive early in Cambridge? Of course, you could always go shopping either in Cambridge or the area. I was told the Baker Family Museum in Caldwell Ohio will be closed until June 1st, but it should be open for you to visit in June. Of course, you'll want to make time to see the National Museum of Cambridge Glass and see all the improvement that you have read about in the Crystal Ball. Mark your calendars and we will see you in June!
