Here's some more info on the show:
Hello All,

Several people have asked for an early draft of our Show

activities for 2010 because they wish to plan out their Show schedules

and do not want to wait. I am still missing confirmation on two

speakers but will post this draft of what we have so far. Remember,

we still have over 3 months to go before the Show.

We are also at 252 exhibitor tables confirmed as of this

morning. There are many inquries coming in daily about exhibitor

tables and the Show itself.

Don't forget to make your resort reservations for your sleeping

rooms. Call Pheasant Run Resort, St. Charles, Illinois, at

630-584-6300 or 800-999-3319 and ask for our Show special room rate.

APRIL 28 (Wednesday) and APRIL 29 (Thursday)
9AM TO 5PM DAILY Brian Ruthenberg/ “Hands On” Pipe Making Seminar

***Access only to pre-registered participants, Pipe Makers scheduled

to participate in the seminar and the Show Staff. No others allowed

in the area because of safety issues, security issues and because of

disruption to class. There is a two-day agenda and it must be adhered

to.
Information on the seminar:
Show Officer in charge is Rex Poggenpohl and the Instructors for the

seminar are as follows: Brian Ruthenberg (lead instructor), Jaden from

Hew-Len pipes and Alex Florov. Jeff Gracik and Rad Davis will be

assisting/ teaching on Thursday, possibly Wednesday if they arrive at

the show early enough.
Coming in on Thursday for some additional help and critics are: Tom

Eltang, Peter Heeschen, Teddy Knudsen, Poul Ilsted, Manuela Riger-

Krusk, Ed Jurkiewicz and possibly Michael Butera.
We do have to charge for the seminar this year as the costs have risen

the past few years. The price to attend this year’s seminar will be

$75.00 and this year it “WILL NOT” be refunded. The checks will go to

the Chicago Pipe Club to try to take care of some of the costs for

putting on the pipe-making seminar itself.
