We want to thank everyone that attended our special Artist Signing Event for the Anheuser-Busch Collectors Club. This event took place on Saturday September 25, 2004.

We will be posting pictures that were taken on that memorable day!  If anyone attended and took pictures, we would love to see them. We'd even post pictures to this web page if you would like to share them with other site visitors. Please let us know if you have photos!

Those that were "pre-registered" were entered in a drawing for many  steins, signs and gift certificates.  Pictured at the right are just some of the items that were given away:

Also, everyone attending received at least one "green ticket" for many additional raffle prizes. All-in-all, over 90 raffle prizes were given away totaling well over $1500.00 in retail value.

The signing will take place outside in the large back lot of our building. We will have two large tents set up.

There will be tables and seating for over 125 collectors!

A professional DJ will be keeping everyone entertained from 10 AM to ???

 Food and refreshments will be available on site!

BEER!

To prevent long lines and  provide a "relaxed" atmosphere, we have planned a numbered wristband system:

Each collector and guests were issued a wristband with a number.

Where do we park?

We have arranged for parking directly across the street from our building.  It is a fairly busy highway, so we have arranged for a Police Officer to help stop traffic for safe crossing.

This is our driveway. Our neighbors across the street were very kind to allow us to use this parking area during the day of our Artist Signing event.

Shown below are more pictures of our building and store.

Suggestions on things to bring or to do:

I have been to several artist signings over the years and here are some ideas you might want to consider.

Bring:

•  A small suitcase with roller wheels, (like a carry-on bag size) to carry your steins.

•  

•  If you don't have a  "rolling suitcase", a small wheel-cart might be helpful.

•  

•  Some collectors choose to bring their steins loose without the gift box. This allows quick, easy access to your steins and reduces the time to unpack and repack while in the artist lines. Wrapping each stein in one large soft towel or one large sheet of bubble-wrap is a good idea. It is not a good idea to use several small pieces of bubble wrap or newspaper, as this becomes hard to work with.

• umbrella, in case of rain. We have tents to stay under, but there is a walking distance to where your vehicle will be parked.

•  

• hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, light jacket

Do:

• identify your steins with your name using a specific color and style sticker. If bringing your steins with their gift boxes, it is wise to also put a sticker on each box.
