NATIONAL SHOW HOSTS HONORED

Glenn & Sandra Drummond, Lois & Steve Blair are shown here receiving the National Insulator Association's highest honor, the Lifetime Membership Award. 

The honor is granted for distinguished service over a significant period of time. Not only were the four hosts for this year's National, but they have helped sponsor shows in the Mid-Ohio area for three decades. Crown Jewels joins the NIA in recognizing them for their dedicated service to our hobby.

The 2004 National will be held in Pittsburg next July. The location was announced at the NIA membership meeting Friday night of the Springfield, Ohio show. By Sunday afternoon, virtually every sales table for the 2004 show was reserved. Next year's host, John Hovanec was surprised, and no doubt pleased, at the show's instant success.
