Dear Wallace Nutting Collector,

Time to register and make your reservations for the WNCC Annual Convention to be held in Philadelphia/Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, May 17 and 18, 2013. Enclosed you will find the information to make your hotel reservations directly with the Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia/Fort Washington and the convention registration form to be sent to my address. The group rate of $119 double occupancy for the hotel expires April 17, 2013. Please note that we will be having a great bus trip to historic Winterthur and the registration form includes a space to reserve your seat and admission. We need to have your registration form back by April 17, 2013 in order to finalize the dinner, the bus trip, and all else that goes into making our convention a success!

See registration forms below (for the convention, exhibitor, bus trip, dinner, and member renewal).

About the Bus Trip to Winterthur
Saturday, May 18, 2013

The WNCC has contracted to have a bus transport us from the hotel directly to the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library. Founded by Henry Francis du Pont, Winterthur (pronounced "winter-tour") is the premier museum of American decorative arts, reflecting both early America and the du Pont family's life there. It includes many period rooms, some rescued from houses before their demolition. Its 60-acre naturalistic garden is among the country's best, and its research library serves scholars from around the world. A great example of all that Wallace Nutting strived for!

Cost: The bus trip and Winterthur admission price will be $29 per person.

Highlights from the 2012 Convention

This year's convention was held at a new location and a different state altogether. We ventured westward from CT to the Hilton Garden Inn in Fort Washington, PA. Everything was excellent from start to finish, beginning with Friday's Auction...the Hospitality Suite hosted by Kyle Kohberger and Kyle Amberg...Saturday's early morning buying/selling followed by excellent presentations...a bus trip to Philadelphia's historic area where everyone was on their own to sightsee for the afternoon...and the weekend then capped off by our annual Club Dinner.

(Please note: the pictures are added randomly and with what was provided...
if we missed anyone this year, make sure we catch you next time.
Many thanks to Jim Eckert, Joyce Fishback, and Sharon Lacasse for sharing their photos.
