Marble enthusiasts from all over the country came to the Spring Show in Arlington this year.  Room trading started as early as Wednesday and the show featured a Bennington and Cat's Eye display contest.

Calvin did a great job of setting up the show, especially considering this was his first time.  There were 35 table set up at the show and over 40 paid admissions.  There were lots of door prizes given away.

Buddy Bowles and Stan Maslanka, both from Oklahoma.  Buddy and Edna Eaton were kind enough to provide most of the pictures on this page.

Greg Hoglin was one of two contemporary marble makers at the show.  This was his first time at a Texas show.  He's from neighboring New Mexico, so hopefully it won't be his last!

Some of Greg's marbles.

Jim Wissler came all the way from Pennsylvania for the show.

Vying for the farthest travelled was Lee Linne from Seattle, Washington!  Lee is a host of the upcoming Las Vegas Show.
