This event will easily be the largest Antique & Vintage Telecommunications event of the 21st century, encompassing literally hundreds and hundreds of radio and telephony collectors from the world over.

You can read more about this annual event at MARC's website:
http://michiganantiqueradio.org/?q=content/extravaganza

Antique radios and telephones, a natural technological match! This event draws over 1,000 attendees annually, and July 2011 was no exception! Coupling with their event in Lansing, a telephone show will have more walk-through traffic than has ever been seen in recent years!

Registration will be $25.00 for this very special event, which provides entry to both the Radio and Telephone expositions. Table rental for both events will be $15.00 per 8' table. As an added bonus, you may also elect to set-up at MARC's huge outdoor flea market. Rates are $35.00 for an outdoor space, or $45.00 for a space under the "Big Top Tent", which includes 1 - 8' table and chair.

With MARC beginning their festivities on Thursday, July 12th, our portion of the 15,000 sq. ft. ballroom will be available for set-up by the many telephone collectors sure to attend. This extra day will provide an additional day for set-up of those working displays that often require extensive lead-times to complete.

For more information or to make an advance reservation, contact Ray Kotke at
or 517-230-6730

All telephone collectors are included in this open invitation. Tables will be assigned in advance, and preference will be given to all advance registrants.
