SNCCC SHOW REPORT!!!!

It was a cold, windy day in Las Vegas yesterday and it never got better! The front doors of the Victorian Casino Antiques building would not stay closed! Their next auction, by the way, is in mid January, if you haven’t been, you’re missing a great event! When the wind blew the doors open, with or without an attendee coming in, the room temperature must have dropped 10 degrees and it was cold inside already. Peter Sidlow of VCA was kind enough to bring in TWO huge heaters but they lost the battle ALL day long! It was cold in there!

BUT:

We did well, over 125 patrons attended, approximately 21 dealers selling all kinds of collectibles, of course including casino stuff. Our sincere thanks go out to a lot of people, and in no particular order!

Peter Sidlow of Victorian Casino Antiques whose patience and understanding is and was much appreciated!

The SNCCC is indebted to you! For those of you who have never run a show you have little idea of what it takes between fundraising, advertising, promoting, contracts, etc, it AIN’T easy! But the club needs the money so it gets done!

To the tireless front people who worked the table of registration:

Christine Smith, what can I say, the energizer Christine!
Sandy Herman, chilled to the bone but kept on going with a smile on her face!
Roger Herman, effective, amiable, friendly and conscientious!
Marshall Goldsmith, in charge of our raffle drum for the brass core chips, the drum never left his sight!

OH, did I forget to mention that Carey Burke won the chips!

Thank you to Walt Gonksi for the donation of the brass core poker chip set!

To the dealers who persevered, set up their wares upon their tables and FROZE their “derrieres” off!

THANK YOU!
