Join us in Newark to celebrate the Heisey Collectors of America (HCA) during the Percy and Vivian Moore Weekend, October 13 through 15. The event will provide plenty of opportunities to socialize with other Heisey glass lovers, to buy and sell glass and to admire the highest quality table glass made in America in our own National Heisey Glass Museum.

Arrival: Museum opens at 10am. Have some wonderful Autumn treats in the library while you get your registration bags, view auction glass and see old pals. You will also have an opportunity to preview the auction glass in Gallery 3 so you can begin choosing the items you hope to add to your glass collection during Saturday’s auction.
The Where It All Began driving tour: See the old factory building, Heisey family homes and even pay tribute at the local cemetery. Visit The Works, Dawes Arboretum, dine at wonderful cafes in Newark and Granville all while seeing old friends. Want to try something a little different?

If you were lucky enough to find a great deal on a piece of Heisey glass along the way to Newark, we encourage you to enter it in the friendly “Road Find” competition at the banquet. The banquet will also include a fundraising auction of items donated by Heisey members and Study Clubs.

The final event of the weekend is the Dave Spahr Fall Select Auction at the GMP Local #244 Union Hall in Newark, which will be conducted with simultaneous in-person and online bidding. Those who can’t make it to Newark may view photos of the glass online and bid along with those in the gallery. We have it on good authority that there are many spectacular pieces among the hundreds of lots in this auction.
