Lasy year's Convention 2012 Summary
The 2012 event at East Peoria, Illinois, entailed a Friday night Annual Business Meeting, a moment of silence for members that have passed away, a great social, silent auction, room hopping buying-selling-trading, 50/50 tickets to win convention prizes, and the award of the COIPS 28th annual commemorative. Saturday morning was very active with one of our largest representation of dealer tables, a large attendance of shopping, a great display at the Rare Items table, an overall very good COIPS Show and Sale, and a most informative seminar about the folk art creations and the quest of the very talented potter, Mr. Anthony L. Hayes. His presentation was very interesting, informative, and professionally presented. We received a nice banquet dinner that evening, followed by a digitally presented Powerpoint Slide Production by Tom O'Hare, and the evening major auction. Each day a large selection of stoneware was offered for sale by show dealers, and several very rare and unusual stoneware items appeared for sale, both in room sales and the Saturday morning sale and confab, and acquired at the evening auction. Several fine pieces of Illinois stoneware found new homes. Best of all, it was another great time for the membership to meet and visit and at a terrific facility, the Stoney Creek Inn. Special thanks is given to all current and past board members for all their hard work and dedication to the Collectors of Illinois Pottery and Stoneware and to the staff at the Stoney Creek Inn.
