Apple-Touch-IconAI am getting quite a few requests to start reporting on the Lexington National that occurred last weekend. Just arrived home Monday night and am sorting through hundreds of really nice photographs from Scott Selenak, our official FOHBC show photographer. I am also trying to get an article in the September | October issue of Bottles and Extras. The bulk of the reports will be in the November | December issue. This is due to the fact that the next issue is due to the printer within a week.

Let us start in the order of events. Let’s look at the FOHBC Board meeting that occurred on Friday morning, 01 August, from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. We invited the new Board candidates if they were in town. Unfortunately a few Board members missed the meeting due to illness (Gene Bradberry), car accident (Dick Watson), flight connection issues (Jack Hewitt), Martin Van Zant (first day of school, he is a teacher) and a funeral (Jamie Haudeshell).
