Chesapeake Bay Insulator Club's 5th Annual Shenandoah Valley Show was a Success!
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", November 2004, page 48

Saturday, August 14 in Martinsburg, W. Va. saw 6 dealers spread over 10 tables at the 5th annual CBIC Shenandoah Valley Insulator Show and Sale. Although the dealer turn out was a little smaller than usual, this made for greater sales for those dealers who did participate. With a larger than average walk thru crowd, many pieces of glass and even a few ten pin cross arms made their way to new homes including some more pricey items. (Sort of like shooting insulators in a barrel!) Dealers from Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Virginia, and surrounding states were present and some of the walk thru crowd traveled further than that to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, great food, and to add that all important piece to their collection. A new record seems to have been set with over 20 members in attendance at one show. It would seem that more shows are likely if dealer enthusiasm were to be any indication.
