The Northland Antique Radio Club invites you to come to RADIO DAZE 2001 at the Comfort Inn of Plymouth - in Plymouth, Minnesota !
Since 1986, radio collectors from across the country have attended Radio Daze to buy, sell, and swap radios, to participate in the Radio Contest, to find some bargains at the radio auction, to try their luck at winning a completely restored vintage radio, and to attend the outstanding programming that RADIO DAZE is known for. Highlights of RADIO DAZE 2001 will include:
Enjoy coffee, pop, and snacks in the Hospitality Room. This is a good place to socialize and also to view some very entertaining radio-related videotapes (shown continuously). Again this year, the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting, along with the Antique Wireless Association (AWA) are co-sponsors of this meet. The Pavek Museum is located just a few miles from the meet, in nearby St. Louis Park. The museum contains a wonderful collection related to radios and radio broadcasting. Museum admission for RADIO DAZE participants is free May 18th and 19th.

Don't miss the antique radio auction at 7:30pm Friday at the hotel! NEW RULES: You do not need to be registered for Radio Daze to buy or sell at the auction. If registered, bidding numbers are $1, otherwise they are $3. Bidding on your own items WILL NOT BE ALLOWED, but instead you may establish a reserve ($100 minimum) on each item to start the bidding at. A nominal seller fee of 5% ($1 minimum / $20 maximum) on each item entered will be charged. Items that don't get an opening bid of at least $20 will not be sold, but will still be charged the minimum $1 seller fee. To allow everyone the opportunity to consign items, we are requesting a limit of 10 lots per person consigned the day of the auction. If you have more than 10 items, please contact Don Hauff prior to May 12th.
Plan on joining us for a hot buffet lunch on Saturday. This is a very good lunch and the cost is only $8.00. |
