SWAP AREA IN
ANNEX
Do you have
collectables filling up your house and garage? Then bring them to swap
with others to diversify and beautify your collection. Nothing to trade
but you see that special specimen - buy trade dollars with U.S. cash and use our
trade dollars to swap. See Frank Pranschke and his helpers.
SILENT
AUCTION IN ANNEX
Wonderful
bargains to be had. Our silent auction table has specimens and bid sheets.
Sign your name and bid. Take your chance on becoming the high bidder when Franks
team closes the tables. Lots of fun. Put down as many bid on an item
and lots of luck.
DEMONSTRATORS
These
demonstrations will be taking place throughout the show in the Home Economics
Building East.

EXHIBITS
A special thank you to Ric Vogel
for his large display of Bonsai. He has worked hard to achieve the
oriental ideal of a marriage between ancient rocks and living things, many of
which are very old. He also appears in native costume.
