Today I had more than a dozen emails asking - When should I plan to arrive at Blenko - I want to make 100% certain I receive a Birthday Vase.
This year Arlon Bayliss has again designed a unique WVa Birthday Vase. In past years, the WV Birthday has often been - well- not spectacular. The Bayliss designed WV Birthday Vases are
outstanding. The 2013 may be my favorite!
NOW about what time to arrive - in past years those folks arriving at Blenko before 6 am on Saturday Morning were assured a vase. This year - well its a special year - the 150th anniversary of Statehood for WVa.
I'm asking you the die hard collectors for your suggestion about time - what time should a new collector arrive to assure he/ she receives the vase???

For the last 4 birthday glass events, they were usually on Saturday and I was there in the line by 1-2 pm on friday afternoon and I was able to get #12 for the last yrs. That being said, this is 150th birthday and I would not be able to make it this year during to travel. If I were to come to just get any piece this year, I would still try to be there by noon the day before the event. Best thing to do for people who live close by is drive by visitor center and take a look at the crowd during the morning hrs of Friday and plan accordingly.
