Free demonstrations/training

The Seventeenth Annual Midwest & Great Northern Printers’ Fair is coming up and I want to let anyone interested know that Printers’ Hall will be open from 8:00 a.m. until well into the evening on both Thursday and Friday, September 16 and 17. We invite you to come and play with or learn about our equipment. There is no set agenda or format, simply come and let us know what you are interested in learning about or playing with and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We have 3 Heidelberg Windmills, a C&P platen, an Old Style Gordon platen, a Lightening Jobber platen, a Vandercook Universal, a Miehle flatbed, a Babcock cylinder, 3 Linotypes, an Intertype, a Ludlow caster, two paper cutters, etc. to learn about and play with. There is no charge for any of this.

On Saturday morning, September 18 the doors will open at 8:00 a.m. for the 17th Annual Midwest & Great Northern Printers’ Fair which starts with a morning swap meet. There is a modest $5.00 entrance fee on Saturday. There will be lots of tables full of goodies (see Gaslight-Daze posting in the classifieds for an example of what they are bringing to sell). There will also be an afternoon auction starting at 1:00 p.m. and this is usually a fantastic opportunity to get great buys on things that didn’t sell in the morning that folks simply don’t want to haul back home.
