Because items are not old, this is held before the convention. Members all wear name badges, and the area is monitored to ensure that no outsiders are admitted. The hotel is often decorated with Christmas lights, trees, displays, dioramas, music, etc. 500 to 600 are current average attendance. Almost every state is represented as well as Canada, Germany and Switzerland.
Many members sign up early, as space is always limited.
Conventions are as different as the personalities of the people running them. Not all of these events occur at each convention, but this should give you an idea of what we have enjoyed in the past. There is also the cost of your hotel room, although we generally get a special rate from the hotels. Remember, as a Golden Glow member you get to celebrate Christmas twice a year. We hope to see you at our next convention.
