The Huron Valley Bottle & Insulator Club's 31st annual show was held Sunday October 1st, 2006 at the Holiday Inn, Auburn Hills, MI.
                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                   

	We limited the number of tables this year to cut down on over crowding. The dealers seemed pleased with the new room setup.
Once again it was an International show, with some Canadian traffic, and our buddy from Washington State, Richard During (left above), stopped in again this year. This year we had a good mixture of goods for sale: lightning rod balls, insulators, bottles, porcelain signs, gasoline items, fruit jars.
	Show table space sold out; and attendance was about the same as last year's show.

The two Canadian threadless insulators shown above were exhibited at the Huron Valley show. Barrett Nicpon brought the aqua CD 742 on the left, and Shawn Long showed off the sapphire blue 742.3 on the right. Below, Shaun Kotlarsky checks out the sales tables.

	Another walk-in item at the show was a cobalt Mason jar valued at $10,000 and possibly made by Hemingray. There were 2 prototype jars, one was crystal clear and the other was white milk glass with a price tag of $2,200. Sales were brisk, there was a steady heavy flow of traffic.
Our club gave bottles and insulators away for free to kids under the age of 12. The donations were supplied by club members, and the effort was hosted by our young member, McKenzie Young. At right, McKenzie and Marc Bauer enjoy a bite to eat.
