Plan
on attending our Fall 2022 Convention for a Wallace Nutting getaway
in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State!
The Radisson is positioned in the heart of Corning and within
walking distance to historic Market Street, which features many
shops and restaurants, as well as the Corning Museum of Glass
and other famous landmarks.
Join
us for lots of fun, camaraderie, buying & selling, and celebrating
being together at an in-person convention for the first time in
3 years!
Our schedule will vary somewhat this year where we'll kick things
off with having our annual Club Dinner on Thursday evening. Plan
to meet up with fellow members for catching up and cocktails,
and then having dinner at the hotel (see full entree choices below).
Staying in this location provides convenience and an easy transition
without additional travel.
Our
Friday morning Marketplace will offer lots of buying and selling
opportunities, where there will be new finds and deals to be had.
And then we have some excellent presentations lined up, which
are detailed on agenda below.
On
Friday afternoon we plan to go the Corning Museum of Glass for
lunch in their Café and then touring the museum. In addition
to viewing all their amazing glass collections, there are Hot
Glass & Flame-working demonstrations, plus you can even make
your own glass. This is entirely optional and there are also many
more things to see and do in this lovely area, inclusive of the
Rockwell Museum (a Smithsonian affiliate) plus taking in all the
lakes, waterfalls and wineries! Scroll down to see list
of suggestions below the agenda.
