Evening at the Spannrafts: Tour of Jerry's ERB and Coke collection, Barbecue, combined Mucker and Panthan meeting, Blues Jam.

While the Muckers and Panthans held their annual meeting in the Coke room, others gathered in the garage area for a blues jam featuring Bob Zeuschner, Thomas Yeates and Bill Hillman.

SATURDAY EVENTS
The Burroughs Bibliophiles Board met for their annual meeting in the morning. Fans continued to visit and peruse items for sale in the Huckster Room until exhibits were cleared to make way for the annual Burroughs Bibliophiles auction. The very successful auction raised over $1,000 to help defray BB expenses.

The Saturday Banquet featured excellent food and company. BB President, Laurence Dunn was master of ceremonies. One of the highlights of the convention was the presentation of awards to Guests of Honour and the sharing of information on important coming ERB events by Thomas Yeates, Jerry Spannraft and ERB, Inc.
