FAGCA's winning display tables, voted upon by our convention attendees. Congrats to Most Educational & Most Beautiful! Tremendous thanks to all who created table displays this year. They were all incredible, so the vote counts were very close!

On Wednesday afternoon, our convention attendees had the opportunity to see glass being made with Dave Fetty and John Fenton. We also painted special 50th Anniversary paperweights, which all turned out beautifully! We wrapped up the day with decadent desserts and BINGO.

This morning we rode with this rowdy bunch to Cambridge, Ohio for a visit to Mosser Glass. Mosser graciously accommodated our 70 bus trip attendees, making sure everyone had an opportunity to tour the factory floor. Tremendous thanks to Mosser and their wonderful staff.

50 Years of Memories

That's what this year's convention is all about. Cheryl Robinson gave a wonderful presentation, offering a trip down memory lane and a historic recollection of the past.

Remembering the visionary people who were instrumental in forming this great club, and honoring the many friends we've lost along the way. Reflecting on the friendships we've built, the beauty of Fenton Art Glass that has brought us together, and the memories we've shared over the past 50 years.

As we celebrate our golden anniversary, we also look ahead with excitement. Together, we'll make new memories, welcome new friends, and begin the next chapter of our journey with the opening of the Museum of Fenton Art Glass.

Here's to 50 years of memories—and to many more still to come.

If you have any memories to share, please feel free to comment. We would love to read them!

The 2026 Convention display tables by our club members are stunningly beautiful (and so creative) this year! We wonder who will take home prizes for Most Beautiful and Most Educational. 🤔 What do you think?

We kicked off our 50th Anniversary convention this morning. We are overwhelmed by the number of members who made the trek to Marietta, Ohio to join us for this milestone year. We started our day with exclusive glass sales, followed by display table review and glass ID with the knowledgeable team of Anne & Max Blackmore, Dr. James Measell, and Dave Fetty. George Fenton even gave us a little glass knowledge!
