Events on the schedule include an AAAA business meeting, a sandwich buffet, a plated dinner, and raffles. Two seminars will also be presented by AAAA members, John DeVolder and Bill Carlisle, respectively, and a presentation will be given by the Ice Screamers, who will host an ice cream social.

Friday will be a full day of room hopping on the hotel’s second and third floors from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., during which the public can browse vintage and antique goods with AAAA members and other sellers. Everything related to antique advertising, including signs, tins, commercial goods containers, and much more, will be for sale.

“The annual convention is a great place to network for those cherished items you collect,” says AAAA’s John DeVolder. “We look forward to meeting you and sincerely hope you find that treasure you have been looking for.”
