Ohio MINI-CANVENTION Update

[Lovegun]

Almost time for the 46th Annual OHIO MINI-CANVENTION to be held at Warren County Fairgrounds Event Center, 665 N. Broadway Street, Lebanon, Ohio, 45036, which is south of Dayton and north of Cincinnati. We are excited as we have a brand new building that we will be using with bigger and better amenities and much better lighting that the building we had been using! Also this year, on Friday, we will have live music from 8pm-10pm. Tom and the Torpedoes, a band that does Tom Petty music! Plus tasty food and drink, featuring a beer trailer from the Wiedemann Brewery with their most popular flavors, and 2 days worth of raffles and our annual auction! There was over 120 tables sold at our last show! Hope to see you there!

Update: With still a little less than a month away, we have sold over 100 tables for this show. Dealers confirmed to be there include Beer Cans Plus, Art Lacomb, Jeff Lebo. Hope to see you there!

This show is building up to be an Epic event. Going to be a slow breweriana weekend on June 11/12 in Columbus, OH because everyone is going to be in Dayton, OH for Ohio-MiniCanvention. Seriously! Guys that normally don't get tables are getting them, I have three reserved and am glad I got them ahead of time because they are about sold out.

Good for the dealers to show up and support live shows as well. Will be nice to actually handle a can, or 50, before I make a buying decision. Anyone remember the days when a can just had a price on it? Maybe even a little negotiating? Didn't have to move the price in $25 increments? I do.

Can't wait!!

Will this show have the on-site camping that has been appreciated and loved by a large portion of collectors for many years now?

[Lovegun]

We are now up to 125 tables sold. Also I wanted to add if you are coming and not needing a table or drinking beer, admission is only $5 each day. Yes Jim, there is camping down the hill behind the building, (grass) and for tents it is free. There is camping for RVs, Trailers. etc. with hookups for $20 a day. Also a couple of members who recently seen the band said they were impressed. Look forward to seeing you Bob and everyone else that's coming!
Cheers

Looking at attending this show for the first time ever after hearing for many years about how great a show it is!!

Wondering if there are any tables left for rent and also trying to figure out some possible places to stay for non camping people like myself??

Any info is appreciated!

Hi Steve! Good to hear you are making it out! There are tables left but act quickly! I attached a list of hotels nearby! Hope this helps!

At previous years Mini-Cans early arrivals began showing up on Thursday evening, will that be prohibited with the agreement with the new venue?
