Just want to thank everyone who came out to the show over the weekend! Despite the weather we still had a full house with people from all over the country as venders and buyers! From Key West Florida to Philadelphia Pa, and all in between. Thanks To Jack Daniels, Terri Qualls with Coca Cola, and Leslie Sampson with J.W. Kelly & Co. for sponsoring our show! We are grateful that these companies support the bottle and advertising collecting hobby! Our winners this year for the raffles were 1st time bottle show vendor Jonny Cates from Alabama winning the Jack Daniels barrel and Tracy Irby veteran bottle collector from Georgia winning the J.W. Kelly Co. whiskey. Congratulations to the both of you on your good luck at the show! We want to thank show chairmen: Tom Lines, Greg Eaton, Stanley Word, Keith Quinn, Marty Vollmer, and Samuel Rhodes for being there! Your support is much appreciated. Thanks to Cliff Condra, with Reaching History and Mathew Franklin and crew with Kycreekers for supporting us! Next year our date will change to a little warmer weekend June 12th and 13th! If anyone wants to join the group and post pictures please feel free to do so. Looking forward to doing it again on our 5th year anniversary!

This resort like many others across the country bottled their own sulphur water. The articles are from 1870.

Amazing that this porcelain pitcher survived for so many years! A great friend of mine owned it but has passed it on for others to admire. It’s a souvenir from the Knoxville Conservation Exposition of 1913. The C.D. Kenny Company opened in Knoxville Tn in 1911. They operated 90 other shops across the country.
