We are looking forward to attending the 48th Gathering of the Aladdin Knights of the Mystic Light in Louisville, Kentucky! It will be so nice to see everyone we missed when the event was canceled last year due to Covid-19. This year’s gathering will be held at the Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Center from June 20-27.
If you aren’t registered now, you will want to do so quickly so you can get the group rate at the hotel. If you have any questions, you can contact Ron or Vicki Jenkins at 615-289-1518 or 315-290-4354 or email 2020gathering@gmail.com.
We are excited to announce that we will once again be offering exclusive Mix-and-Match font glue-ups on site! Stop by the Crownplace Brands table at the Lamp show on Friday or Saturday to pick out your pieces and get your very own custom-made lamp font! We first offered this opportunity at the 47th Gathering in 2019 and it was well-received, so we are pleased to be able to do it again this year.
If you missed our Mix-and-Match event at the last Gathering, here are some details about this special offer. Gathering attendees are given the opportunity to create their own unique lamp by choosing from a variety of styles and colors of feet (or pedestals) and bowls. The pieces offered are considered “seconds” because there may be some small flaws or were extra pieces for exclusive lamps. The minor impurities or defects do not affect the function of the lamp. We will only be bringing a select number of pieces, so get there early to pick your pieces, as they will be first come, first served. After you make your selections, watch as we glue your font together on the spot! Once the glue has time to dry (usually about 15-20 minutes), you can pick up your font and take it with you. You won’t want to miss out on your chance to design your very own lamp font to have as a keepsake from the event. To complete your lamp, you can purchase a burner, mantle, and chimney from the dealer of your choice, either at the Gathering or when you get home.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
