Guildmaster’s Message about The 2024 Horn Fair and Annual Meeting

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays coming to a close, I look forward to settling into a slower schedule- who am I kidding!?! Winter shows start as early as January. One I personally plan to attend is the 18th Century Artisan show which will be held at the Carlisle Expo Center on Feb. 2nd and 3rd. The Guild will have a display table with a good representation of horn items, membership information, fundraising displays and Guild merchandise for sale. If you’re in the area, we’d love to see you!
There’s a few more shows on my schedule, but the biggest one on my mind (by far) is our Annual Meeting at the Altoona Grand Hotel on March 8th and 9th. Plans have been set and reservations have already started rolling in. Remember, if you’re planning to book a room, call the hotel directly at (814)946-1631 and say you want a room in the “HCH room block”. Dinner reservations are also needed for the Saturday banquet. Information on acquiring banquet seats, display tables and raffle tickets can be found here on the website by clicking here.

Please mark your calendars for this event. As it’s the biggest Guild function we have during the year, I’d love so much to see more of our members there than ever before! If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at polizzifam@netzero.net.
