Am I reading this correctly...if I'm not a dealer and I dont want to pay $45-$60, my only chance to get in to buy bottles is Sunday from 9am-3pm?

sparrow75, That is correct. Saturday is dealer/displayer set up and early buyer day only. You can also buy a sales table for $65 (non-FOHBC member) or $55 (FOHBC member).

These shows are extremely expensive to put together due to the fees charged by the rental halls. Then there are table rentals and advertising. The majority of these expenses are paid through the table rentals and it is only fair to give those who support the event; by renting the tables and early entry fees; priority. If we could get the halls and tables for free... well that's not going to happen so we must each make a personal effort to thank the people who put on these shows; as it is no small effort on their part and the majority of the time thankless for them. Bite the bullet, get a table or pay early entry and on the way in thank them for all they do. Make friends, see great bottles and maybe take a bottle or more home with you. Friendship and camaraderie is priceless, well worth the admission.

There will be plenty of great bottles still available on Sunday. Saturday early admission is for real serious collectors. Personally, if I wasn't setting up I'd still pay the early admission price, but that's just me.Jay

I will be setting up at the show with a couple of tables full of nice ACL soda bottles. Stop by and say hello.
