I am pleased to inform everyone that the Club's Historian and Hall of Fame member, Mr. Carey Burke will once again be presenting items from his personal collection in a Special Non-Competitive Exhibit, downstairs from the Convention Floor near the Benny Binion Statue!

Carey's presence was dearly missed from this location last year, after having a very successful presence there at the 2013 Convention. That presence managed to direct and guide numerous walk-in attendees to the Show and we look forward to that opportunity to repeat again this year.

The logistics of moving items to and from the Convention Floor to the table downstairs was too excessive last year, which is why Carey was unable to set-up last year. But this year we have made arrangements for a six-foot display case to house and protect his memorabilia for all 3-days of the Show and thereby negate the need to move things daily between the Convention Floor and downstairs.

While Carey will be displaying items from his personal collection, this Exhibit will be Non-Competitive as it would have an advantage (or perhaps disadvantage) over the Competitive Exhibits on the Convention Floor. Speaking of which, at the present time, we have the honor to have the following Exhibitors signed up.

Jerry Vergatos - Chips
Jim Munding - Early "DEPUTY" Patches
James Campiglia - Westside Clubs and Casinos of Las Vegas
Brenda Black - "Recorded Live" in Las Vegas
Jerry Birl - TBD

Additional openings are available, and if I have overlooked a previous sign-up, please let me know right away!

The current line-up for Non-Competitive Exhibits is:

2014 OTY Nominees and Winners
Permanent Collection of All Past OTY Award Winners
Examples of Grades and Conditions
Select Items from the Collection of Carey Burke
