I leave in just a few days for the North American Nationals and BreyerFest. I haven't attended the event in the last few years, so I am really looking forward to seeing old friends. I also plan to take lots of pictures so I can share them here. For those readers that aren't involved in the equine collectibles community (as I've recently learned many here are not), BreyerFest is an annual event sponsored by Reeves International for collectors of their Breyer model horses. Almost as soon as it began, it became the defacto national gathering place for those interested in three-dimensional equine collectibles of all kinds.
The North American Nationals (usually just called "NAN") is the national competition for the model horse industry. NAN rotates coasts every other year, so that on even-numbered years it is held in conjunction with BreyerFest. BreyerFest draws a large number of people from all over the world to Lexington each year, and for those years that it is paired with the Nationals it is larger still.
This year the event has another draw for those of us involved in the ceramic end of the industy. Maggie Barkovitz has brought back the all-ceramic show "Breakables".
I am bringing along some green art glazed "Inspire" tiles for the winners of the Breakables Blackberry Lane Challenge class. I'm hoping to include some matching bookmarks, too, if my order for the brass blanks gets here in time.
