Indiana Marble Club presents
September 9, 10, & 11 2010 - Hampton Inn & Suites, US N31, Kokomo, IN
Saturday's show in hotel banquet rooms
10am-3pm FREE ADMISSION!
Continually held the week-end following Labor Day , we offer two separate venues
for those who like to collect or would like to learn about the hobby of marble
collecting. Feel free to stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Kokomo, Indiana
on US 31 Thursday, (765-455-2900) September 9 and Friday, September 10, and
"room hop" to visit with collectors and dealers who are familiar with the
history behind one of the worlds oldest toys; or visit with some of the nations
most popular contemporary marble artists and see the newest and most beautiful
art trends in glass. This is also a wonderful way to bring your marbles to
discuss and learn!
Also, Saturday, September 11, we will have the dealers gathered in the hotel
banquet rooms to buy, sell, trade or to appraise your treasures. It's free and
educational and fun too!
The Kokomo show was started in Kokomo to introduce to many marble collectors the
Kokomo marbles which were made through the Kokomo Opalescent Glass Factory in
the 1920's and 30's (which is still in existence), and although the marbles were
only made for a very short time there, they are collectible as well as rare.
In conjunction to these marbles, you will find German handmades from the late
1800s to early machine mades in the early 1900s to the newly made and
collectible hand and machine mades.
So please come join the fun! We look forward to meeting you and sharing our
wonderful hobby.
This year we are having a marble raffle for ALL participants to the show. All guests attending Saturdays show will receive a raffle ticket to put in on their choice towards a number of marbles donated by the vendors. In exchange for their donations, each vendor will receive 10 tickets towards their choice of marble. All participants will also have the opportunity to purchase additional tickets for $1. Participants do not need to be present to win but they must be able to respond by phone to pick up their prize.

This year please notice the time change for the public to join in on the fun.
We’ll have the show an hour longer! Set-up will start at 7:30am and the public
will enter at 9am until 4pm! We’ll need to be cleaned up and out of the big room
by 5pm.
The Center Room + the North Hall will be the location of the vendor tables like
last year. The floor is going to be 1,540 sq. feet of space for all of us. There
will be 43 tables. Below is going to be the table layout: I am taking tables 1
and 25 because I need to be by the entry door to assist my with the entrance
area. I also had 6 people watching security that no one knew about. The had
overlapping shifts and acted like shoppers just in case of “sticky-hands.”
Fortunately, I didn’t have any vendor tell me of any problems but it doesn’t
hurt to have them watching anyway and I’ll plan on “silent eyes” this year too.
I need to know if you have a special request for a specific table or tables. Let
me know as soon as you can so I can start assigning your locations. I try to
keep vintage marble sellers in the middle portions of the room as best as I can
(tables 26 through 43).
