Greetings
Welcome 2025! I know that, at our house, we’re thankful to have 2024 behind us. We are ready to start over with a fresh year.
The annual Midwest Fruit Jar & Bottle Club Convention is behind us now and, speaking for myself, it was a wonderful experience.
I certainly hope that everyone that attended feels the same way that I do. If not, please forward feedback to us. We are always looking for suggestions to improve everyone’s experience.
It was wonderful to see so many collector friends from all over the country, border to border, east to west, north to south.
I want personally to thank, again, everyone that helped to make the convention a success. We are grateful to everyone who presented seminars, and helped coordinate activities at the hotel and the show. Also, we appreciate the interest in our activities from Ball State University, and look forward to seeing the finished documentary that they are producing about Ball Jars and the collecting culture surrounding it.
It seems that the hobby is in good health and we will continue to do our part to maintain that.
Wishing good health and happiness to everyone.
Jerry Dixon
