The commemorative for the 2000 convention was the Atterbury-type 6-1/2" white milk glass rabbit.  Commemoratives are only available to members and are limited to first come, first served.  (Commemoratives are sold out.)

The auction was held on Friday afternoon at 1:30 PM (not the usual evening auction).  It consisted of an exciting variety of 300 pieces of opaque glass.  Ed Kulhman, the auctioneer, did his usual fantastic job of getting through each item.
