Blue Ridge by the Bay 2003

The third annual Blue Ridge by the Bay show took place June 28, 2003 in San Jose, California. It featured eight different dealers with a wide array of Blue Ridge Pottery. Shoppers came from all over the country to find their favorite Blue Ridge patterns.

We also had something special to celebrate: Reg and Jane Holloway's 56th wedding anniversary! Reg and Jane received their first pieces of Blue Ridge on their wedding day 56 years prior. Her pattern is Chintz. But much of what they had was destroyed in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and they have been working to rebuild their collection. They have faithfully attended all our Blue Ridge by the Bay shows and this year we were able to recognize their happy day.
