The Antique Advertising Association of America (AAAA) will conduct its annual show and convention from Wednesday to Saturday, July 19 to 22, at the Wyndham Garden York Hotel in York, Pa. The busy convention schedule will include seminars, time for “room hopping” (room sales) each day, a silent auction, banquet meals, raffles and games with great prizes, and fellowship. There is no other event like this in the country.
The all-star line-up of seminar presenters will proudly feature legendary Coca-Cola and soda pop “guru” Allan Petretti; noted baseball-related tobacco authority Jon Canfield; and president of the National Barber Shop and Shaving Collectibles Association, Justin Nash.
Dozens of dealers from throughout the U.S. will be bringing thousands of vintage advertising items for sale, including antique and collectible signs, tins, displays, general store, drug store, soda fountain, ephemera, gas and oil, tobacco, bottles, jars, soda pop, breweriana, premiums, and much more at all price points. Registration costs $130 per person, which includes all activities, two banquet dinners, one buffet lunch, and, for hotel guests, free deluxe continental breakfast each day. The discounted hotel room rate is $124 for a room with one king bed and $134 per night for a room with queen beds, plus tax. To register to attend the convention, visit www.aaaa.regfox.com/2023.
For those unable to attend the entire convention, there will be a free-of-charge Antique Advertising Show, Auction, and Sale at the Wyndham Garden York on Friday, July 21, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (with a dinner break from 6 to 7:15 p.m.).
