Subject: 1995 Ohio Pipe Collectors Swap/Sell Pipe Show

Mark your calendar!  The Ohio Pipe Collectors will be holding our 1995
swap/sell pipe show on Saturday, September 23.  We have reserved half of
the main ballroom of the Holiday Inn at 328 West Lane Avenue in Columbus
(across from OSU) for the show.  There is no home OSU game that day, and,
as far as I know, no other pipe-related event is taking place anywhere. 
Admission will be free to the public.  The Holiday Inn is holding 10
rooms (single or double occupancy) at a special rate of $70.00 for anyone
who wishes to come in on Friday or stay over Saturday night.  Call
614-294-4848 to reserve a room, and mention the OPC show.  We hope that a
successful show this year will allow us to consider even more space and a
two-day show next year.  Here are some highlights at this point.

Fifty tables, each six feet long X 30 inches wide, will be available for
rent.  Each table will be $20.00 until June 15 and $25.00 after June 15. 
Tables will be available to anyone (individuals, smoke shops, whoever)
strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

We will be writing every pipe shop and pipe maker in Ohio and asking them
to support our show by renting a table and/or donating merchandise in
return for recognition and promotion.

All donated merchandise will be used to provide three prizes for a
pipe-smoking contest to occur at 2:00 and for a raffle to be conducted at
4:30.  Raffle tickets will be 50 cents each.  Plus, anyone who buys a new
or estate pipe from one of the tables during the show will receive one
free raffle ticket per pipe purchased.  Winners need not be present to win.

If any Digest subscribers require more information, please write me, and
I'll try to provide it.  Also, if you can put show flyers to good use,
please let me know the number and your mailing address, and I'll get them
in the mail.
