June 20th is West Virginia's Birthday. If you are a state government employee you may have a 'holiday' - if you are a shopper - there are sales every where in honor of West Virginina's Birthday.
The most exciting thing about WEST VIRIGNIA's BIRTHDAY is each year BLENKO GLASS Company in Milton (304 743 9081) designs and produces a limited number, signed glass item in honor of the state's birthday.
The Birthday Piece is sold at the Blenko Glass Visitors Center in Milton. I would suggest if you plan to purchase - you arrive early, these are usually sold out within 30 minutes of the store opening - the line is long - people sometimes arrive as early as 2 am.
I will be posting photos of the 27 past Birthday pieces - but I am suggesting that if you DON'T have a Birthday Collection - YOU START ONE NOW
Start with 2007.
Ms B and I recently donated our WV Birthday Collection - so we also will be beginning a new Collection - this the 2007 will be the first in our new collection.
Join us in Milton on JUNE 20th.
The Blenko's are there to sign other items that you purchase, someone from the Blenko Collectors Club will be there, and they have CAKE and .... well its just a fun way to spend a morning.
