Well, we did it. The annual National Sports Collectors Convention is now history and we had a whale of a time visiting with vendors, sports buffs and people interested in knowing more about Chic. We sold lots of The One And Only biography books on the great Harley. Free t-shirts and DVDs of Chic information were given out to every book purchaser. Some of the more interesting people we talked with included a teacher at Youngstown State who knew Jim Tressel way back when, one of Ohio State’s best known and knowledgeable football team bloggers, and many folks who knew something about Harley but wanted to know more. We had a great booth location—right across from the autograph pavillion where sports greats Archie Griffin, Eddie George Hop Cassady and others signed autographs for a price. We had a great booth display with life-size Chic cut-outs and historical photos catching the eyes of convention-goers. Many thanks to Bob Wessell and Mary Alice Wenzl for their hard work. Look on our website–chicharley.com–for several photos we will post in the days ahead.
Our next stop: Columbus. Check in in a few days to learn of details and our quest to get a fitting memorial for Chic in place on or around the OSU campus. If you want to join in the crusade. let us know
