McCoy Lovers Banquet & Show and Tell - 2002 The McCoy Lovers Show and Tell, a regular feature of our reunion, will be held on Thursday at 5 PM on July 18, 2002 in conjunction with the McCoy Lover Banquet. The location will be the Knights of Columbus Hall, 275 Sunrise Center Rd (Rte 40), Zanesville, Ohio. In addition to the normal invitation extended to all registered attendees to display your rare or uncommon pieces of McCoy pottery, this year we are inviting you to bring a type of non-McCoy item. We thought would be great if everyone could see any pottery piece that was made by others in their attempt to copy an authentic McCoy piece. In addition, it would also be great if you could bring the real McCoy piece the look-alike copied, so a direct comparison can be shown. Each person wishing to display an authentic but uncommon piece of McCoy will be allowed to enter one item. The item has to have been produced by either Nelson McCoy or Brush-McCoy. All entries are welcome as long as you consider your authentic McCoy to be unusual in some way. (Please, no items from a questionable maker.) For the display of the McCoy look-alikes, each person may enter two items. Any item is acceptable in this category regardless of the maker, however the item has to simulate a real McCoy piece, which we hope you can also bring. As always, the main purpose of the Show and Tell event is to help us all learn as much as we can about the pottery we love. This year with the display of pottery pieces that masquerade as authentic McCoy pieces, a whole new learning dimension will be added. To make Show and Tell participation simple and quick we have only one form for use to enter a piece in either type display. We are including two forms in the packet that you will receive at registration , or you can download the forms from the bottom of this page. In order to save time, please fill out your forms ahead of time, however, we will have extra forms at the entrance to the banquet hall, in case you need additional ones.As always, please note that you do not have to make an oral presentation - just write a few comments about your entry so that everyone can learn something new about McCoy pottery, or for this year about some type of McCoy look-alike. Please bring your entries, along with your completed forms, to the K of C, Thursday night at 5 PM. This will allow everyone to view and read about all the entries for one hour before dinner. You may also get a final peek at the entries for about 30 minutes following the conclusion of the program. Remember to bring your camera. Your snapshots will allow you to refresh your memory when you get home, and they could help you spot a special item that you really would like to have, or some look-alike piece that you don’t.
