The 2004 National Show!July 22-25, 2004 |
The thirty fifth national insulator show was held in New Kensington, Pennsylvania at the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center. Show hosts John Hovanec, Ron Barth, and Tim Grantz along with the The Western Reserve Insulator Club did a great job planning and coordinating this excellent show! The show was a sellout from the start with 115 sales tables and 24 displays.

The show was held in the conference hall of the Clarion hotel. Both NIA day and Saturday had good steady walkthrough and sales appeared strong. Many collectors had not seen each other since earlier National shows or just met face to face for the first time having only met by phone or internet!
