The man who wrote a book “Indiana Milk Bottles,” John Cleland will be present and will likely have milk bottles from local dairies.
There will also be plenty of color photos from last year’s show as well as colorful northern Indiana made insulators and fruit jars, bottles etc. if you need them.
Lots of artifacts of Indiana history will also be in the room. Insulator collectors from surrounding states will be present. Many glass insulators were made by Hemingray Glass Company, Muncie and King City Glass Works, Fairmount. The very last of the U.S. made glass insulators were made in Dunkirk in the mid-1970s.
The event is hosted by Gene Hawkins and Mike McLaughlin, both of Warsaw.
