Hi All:
As some of you probably know, we're on track for the spring Ottawa Valley Insulator Collector ( OVIC ) show and sale on April 30th. Most of the tables are spoken for, but there is still room for more reservations. The hall will be busy according to the number of collectors who have said they are coming. Contact me if you have any thoughts or questions about the show.
Collectors are expected from Quebec, Columbia SA, IL, NS, NY, Sudbury and Southern Ontario. I'm expecting everything from Freebies to Threadless Diggings to Foreign Insulators at this years show. There will be some local newspaper coverage before the show also. Last year, this coverage brought in a few local folks who left with insulators or insulator knowledge.
OVIC 2011 will be held on Saturday the 30th of April, in the Lions Hall on the Perth fair grounds. Perth is about 45 minutes from the US-Canadian border in Eastern Ontario. I expect things will be similar to last year's show, which saw a full house of sales tables with a few displays here and there.
Maplefest is happening in Perth on April 30th also. Why not make OVIC 2011 a family event? I think many of us have family who support our hobby, but draw the line at being anchored in a room full of insulator gear. Like OVIC shows, Maplefest has been running for many years and the town of Perth puts a lot of effort into this noted attraction. Follow this link

To those who have already booked a table(s), I thank you very much for the support!
Looking forward another show in Perth.

PS With the ever increasing price of Canadian postage, going to an insulator show makes even more sense :- )
