Attention -- if you're planning on staying at the hotel, it is not called Signature Inn anymore. It is now a BAYMONT INN -- same phone number -- double check your reservations.

Winter Muncie Fruit Jar Show & Collectors Event is Almost Here! 

January 9, 10, 11, 12,  in Muncie, Indiana

The January Muncie event, with the infamous 3-days (DAZE!) of room-hopping including the Saturday Get Together Meeting at the Baymont Inn Hotel, all followed by the big Sunday Fruit Jar & Bottle show at the Horizon Center.

Some very serious collectors will start arriving in Muncie on Wednesday, so you'd better book your hotel room NOW -- you don't want to miss a minute of the fun.
  • It's room-hopping at the Signature Inn hotel on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 9, 10, & 11, 2014. 
  • Then to the Horizon Center on SUNDAY JANUARY 12, 2014 FOR THE BIG SHOW.

The Midwest Antique Fruit Jar & Bottle Club of Muncie IN is putting on their January 2014 fruit jar collectors event, the "Muncie Fruit Jar Show & Get Together", with collectors and dealers coming from all over the U.S. 

The Muncie Fruit Jar Shows are well-known for the amazing and rare items brought for sale, for the outstanding educational collector-displays exhibited during the show, as well as for the great group of fruit jar enthusiasts who treat this multi-day event like a combination convention/club meeting/reunion.

The show will be held on Sunday January 12, 2011, at the Horizon Convention Center 401 S High St Muncie IN 47304, and open to the public 9am-2pm, with $2 admission, and free parking. 

Join us for "room-hop-shopping" at the Baymont Inn Hotel before the show, on Thursday-Saturday, January 9, 10, 11. The hotel is located at 3400 N Chadam Ln Muncie IN 47304. 

The public is welcome! You don't need to have a room at the hotel to come visit and room-hop-shop. We encourage new collectors to stop by and see what we're up to, and learn a little something about fruit jars.

Fruit jar collectors spend several days at the hotel before the Sunday "official" show, sharing and trading. There are also scheduled talks presented by long-time expert collectors like Jerry McCann, and many impromptu talks as subjects come up. A few tall-stories are told, too, all adding to the fun. Groups of friends, old and newly-made, often head out for lunch or dinner at area restaurants. The room-hop-shopping continues until late in the night, and starts again early each morning, after the hotel's complimentary breakfast, and lots of coffee!

On Saturday the Jelly-Jammers Club holds their meeting, and then there is the Midwest Club's meeting, open to all, followed by a lively open-consignment/fee-free auction. 

The show set-up is early Sunday morning, at the Horizon Center in downtown Muncie, a quick drive from the hotel. The show opens to the public at 9am, ending at 2pm, when the dealers pack up and head home, weary but happily reminiscing about the good time they had being with other collectors who speak the special language of Munice, Fruit-Jar-ese!
