  • Is this an Annual Show? Our club has sponsored shows in 2000, 2001, 2004 and in 2005. We decided to do another show this year with the great support of our membership.
  • Number of years in existance: Our club has been in existence since 1996. As internet sales grew, we decided that putting on another show was just not warranted at the time and we took a break for two years. The club received numerous requests to sponsor another show, so we decided to do one starting in 2004.
  • Average Attendance: "We had over 200 people at the 2004 show and the show before was closer to 400; many of our vendors report profitable sales from collectors."
  • Is this show recommended for Original Doll Artists? "We do have several local doll artists and we are hoping to include more original artists in this year's show. We are holding our annual club diorama competition at this show and the attendees will select this year's winner. Our competition has been mentioned in national magazines like Barbie Bazaar and this is a great opportunity for collectors to show their creativity."
