This great show had a wide variety of insulators available including many rare and seldom seen pieces for sale as well as 13 excellent displays.  The Friday night Luau was a great success as was the Saturday NIA Awards banquet which was well attended and provided great food!

National shows are unlike anything else in the hobby.  It is the one time of year where collectors from across the globe get together and meet.  The 2008 National will be held in Portland, OR.   Link for information on the next National Show:
