Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass

Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

GATOR BOWL


Today at 1 o'clock Ms B and I, along with friends, family from all over WV will be 'watching' the Gator Bowl. The game is nearly SOLD OUT! ' West Virginians' are known to travel and support their teams - Marshall and WVU have incredible supporters. The Game is telecast live from All Tel Stadium in Jacksonville, FL. at 1 PM. We will of course start by listening to "Hoppy" for hours before game. Most of my family watches TV w/ radio earphones. We may be called 'addicts'. This year BLENKO GLASS Co. of Milton, West Virginia has produced a new line of West Virginia University inspired 'tableware'. Homer Laughlin's FIESTA . also has WVU inspired tableware. BLUE & GOLD made in West Virginia tail gate parties . . . . it should be a great day in Jacksonville and in all of West Virginia. Coach Rod has taken his WVU team to five (5) BOWL GAMES! ALL WEST VIRGINIANS AND WVU ALUMNI SHOULD BE PROUD. Note: Photo of BLENKO GLASS Co WVU Items and Tableware taken 12/2/06 by H. Homburg

Great that you are seeing BLENKO!
Blenko has worked hard to get the word out about the new WVU and Marshall items.
Did you buy some? They would make a great Valentine's gift!
My Dad has season tickets for over 35 years - he loves WVU and if I am ever successful I'd like to give him a GOOD SEAT and a GREAT PARKING PLACE for home games. I great up going from age 2 on I've had a seat next to my Dad and Grandad.
Now run out after tha game on the way home ( did you drive?) and buy BLENKO - Tamarack has the items pictured.

YES I read about the well deserved honor " Person of the Year" David and Susan Hardesty remain two of the most outstanding and hard working people in West Virginia.
It's nice to see people who work so hard, be recognized.
