A special breweriana display entitled "The Back Bar" made its 8th
semi-annual run at "Blue Gray 2007." The display featured rare,
premium-quality, lighted breweriana of 1930s to early 1950s vintage.
Numerous lighted signs, clocks, lamps and neons were selected from
the collections of many participants from around the country.
In addition, there was a new and exciting event: a Best of Show
contest. Everyone who attended the Blue Gray show was eligible to
vote for their favorite item. Awards and prizes were presented to
the winner, 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up.
The winners were:
Best of show: Columbia by Gerald Watt of Reading, PA
1st Runner-up: Tally-Ho by Bob Post of Sioux Falls, SD
2nd Runner-up: Amsterdam by Chuck King of Glenmont, NY
"The Back Bar" is presented by NABA/ECBA member John Bain. Collectors
