BLENKO GLASS - City of Grapevine

The following news from Texas:

The people of Wichita Falls came out to support the Kemp Center, the Viteks and of course Blenko Glass. My rough estimate of folks there would be 150-200 folks. A good sign was that all the Blenko Glass in the gift center was sold out. The event was so successful that the staff at the Kemp are hoping to have a yearly Blenko event.

The Viteks won this custom made grape chandelier at the Grapevine, Texas Grapefest Festival a few years ago. Over sixty glass grapes make up the chandelier. They are hoping to return it to the City of Grapevine later this year.

The Blenko Collectors Society has a very active group in Texas, they meet weekly, the eat together, shop together, attend lecturers together, and as a group they attend and support most all BLENKO GLASS COMPANY events in and around TEXAS.

This group performs the mission of the BLENKO PROJECT they support and promote BLENKO GLASS.

Richard Blenko travels extensively promoting Blenko, but one person can't do all. It take a

'Village to teach us about Hand Crafted Made In WV Glass', The Texas Collectors take pride in their role as advocate, educators and supporters of Blenko and West Virginia Glass. . . . .Blenko Glass is made here in Milton, West Virginia.
