Saturday Oct. 14 is for dealers only. Sorry, no public early bird admission on Saturday. You must have a dealer contract.
There are always plenty of outside spaces available (weather permitting). Most years the day is nice enough, and we have several outside dealers. Even if it's cold, there are always a few hardy souls who set up out there. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for sunshine this year.

Directions from I-75:
Sterling Center Reception Hall
4570 Fostoria Avenue, Findlay, Ohio
From I-75, coming from North or South, take exit #157, and just follow the signs for Rt. 12, approx. 5 miles.
Rt. 12 becomes Fostoria Avenue, so it is easier to find than these directions seem:
- Take exit 157 for OH-12 toward Findlay/Columbus Grove
- Turn East onto OH-12 E/W Main Cross St
- Turn North onto S Main St
- Turn East onto Center St
- Continue onto Tiffin Ave
- Slight left onto Fostoria Ave
The Sterling Center / 4570 Fostoria Avenue, Findlay / is located behind the Humane Society building.
Note: Hotel names and phone numbers may not be current.
- The best selection of hotels are at I-75 exit #159 / Rt 224
- You can easily get to and from the hotels area and the bottle show. It's just a 10-15 minute drive. (Follow the same directions as above.)
- There are many restaurants near the I-75 hotel area.
- There are also many restaurants on 224/Tiffin near to the show venue.
- There are a few hotels near to the show, but their prices tend to be higher than the ones at I-75.
- Google link to Findlay hotels listings: here
- Call the hotel for your reservation asap.
Saturday's Dealer set-up will run from 1pm - 8pm. (Contract Link)
Since there are so many restaurants within 5 minutes drive of the show venue, the club will not be serving dinner on Saturday.
Link to a list of all the nearby restaurants.
Here's a map to give you an idea. There are dozens of restaurants, from fast food to fancy, from Seafood, Italian, Pizza, Chinese or... you name it!
Mark your calendars now for Sunday October 15, 2017 for a great day of shopping, learning more about our collections, making new friends and visiting with other folks who "speak bottle-ese".
