Thanks Mike, this sounds great. I just tried to register with paypal and I don't think it went through but I called and I'm at least on the list.

I'm so looking forward to this. I'm blowing off my brother I'm so excited. I don't know if there are still openings. I say check it out!
I look forward to seeing Mike again and hope I get to meet Jeff.
I expect to walk away a lot smarter, shouldn't take much.

Eric,

All of the pre-registration seats sold right away... I'm not sure if there are any seats left for the lectures. If you haven't done it already, call the Peterborough Historical Society tomorrow morning... hopefully there is space. The response was overwhelming, and we have over 120 people (full capacity) for the event! I guess they heard Jeff was going to be there. :)

Mike

The Associated Press did an article on the event, and it was picked up Nationally...

Also, a good article in Antiques & Arts Weekly...

I sure hope that you are telling folks from whom you purchased quite a few of those pretty bottles of yours that you have on display!
