Just returned from a Saturday spent at the Northwest Casino Chip And Memorabilia Show put on by the energetic Mr. Jim Fredrickson. Jim is a real asset to chipping in the Pacific Northwest and has really spread the good word on the Oregon coast in particular. Plenty of chips for sale and even a vendor from Michigan was there. Sorry, didn't think to gather all the names and hope another attendee will be able to fill us in on that. Poor Steve Goodrich was stranded at home by bad weather, would have been nice to visit with him again. I did meet up with Clyde & Toni Bailey, David Moore, and Rick Miner. Saw Gene of course, Mel and Armin, Dean Richmond and Jody Sones, Don Lueders, Gene Grabow, Dorthy Mageris, Dave and Carol Wendleton and a few others. Hope business is good for the dealers, I know I had my head buried in the binders and managed to bag the chips I wanted to find most. Jim was using his day off to man the door, run raffles and door prizes, the poker tourney and make everyone welcome. He'll have another full day tomorrow with the show, chippers breakfast and auction and whatever else is on the slate.

Here's some of my stuff. I've got the 7th color of the Nevada Club Dots roulettes and it's not the color I was expecting. Also have my first example of Bird & Suits mold! More on this stuff later.
