NCR: Antique Bottles convention - Reno - late July

I like the history and collectibles niche of antique bottles, though I'm just a "window shopper" at this point, not a collector. Some interesting items and some common bonds between "chippers" and "bottlers" (if that's a term? - I don't know what they call themselves?)

Anyway, their annual convention (moves around to different cities) will be in Reno this year, headquartered at the Silver Legacy, starting July 31. I can't go this year, but maybe another time?

Their website is pretty interesting too: https://www.fohbc.org
(The official name is "The Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors" = FOHBC)

I only have one good-natured bone to pick with them -- the poster (below) for their Reno convention prominently features Vegas Vickie! What's up with that? She's a permanent fixture of downtown LV, first outside on Fremont Street, and now restored inside Circa. She's the wrong graphic for downtown Reno ... though she is a head-turner!

(Just a little ribbing there. Hope the convention for them is great!)
