Peter Calvesbert |
Adam Binder |
Join us June 23—26, 2011
at the Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center Chicago North Shore in Skokie, Illinois.
Skokie is a suburb just 15 miles north of Chicago and a 28-minute ride from O'Hare International Airport.
Registration at the Collector level is $250 and the Associate level is $140.
Our special convention room rate is $89 per night, plus tax (available three days before and after the event).
Fire & ICE is the name of the event and it relates to Chicago for its history (the Great Chicago Fire of 1871) and the Harmony Kingdom/Adam Binder presence at the International Collectible Exposition from 1996 to 2003. As a matter of fact, the June dates correspond to the ICE dates from the past. A large number of our current collectors met and formed lasting friendships from the ICE shows. This is a way of paying homage to our history.

| Both of our guest artists have created special pieces for this event. |

Peter Calvesbert chose "fire" as his inspiration for the Early Bird piece, and has created Light My Fire, which may explain how the Great Chicago Fire really started. This piece is available only at the Collector level, for those who register before November 15, 2011, with a final payment due February 14, 2011.

On The Brink —>
Adam Binder, who recently won the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation's Wildlife Artist of the Year 2010 award for his bronze sculpture of a polar bear, chose "ice" as his inspiration and has created the main event piece On The Brink, available to all Collector level registrants.
