Looking for something new and unique?

If you are responsible for group travel, wish to initiate a bus tour to the Bead&Button Show, are a retail store, or bead society/guild, we can help make it very easy for you and your group.

We will offer special pricing on admission for bus tour participants depending on how your tour is structured. The regular, daily admission is $10. Substantial discounted admission will be granted to all bus tour participants and we'll even give you badges ahead of time -- no waiting in line at the box office.

Parking is readily available for all motor coaches only a short distance from the convention center. We can assist you with this aspect and any housing need you may have for your group.

Destination: Bead&Button Show, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
When: June 7-9, 2013

The Bead&Button Show is produced by Kalmbach Publishing Co., www.kalmbach.com. We publish 16 hobby related magazines; three of them revolve around jewelry making - Bead&Button, BeadStyle, and Art Jewelry magazines.

This amazing Show features:

• 370 Vendors from around the world
• 120,000 square-foot Bead and Jewelry Marketplace
• Bead Dreams juried Art Exhibit
• Special evening events
• Make and Take opportunities for attendees
• Silent Auction (Proceeds go to breast cancer research.)
• Jewelry Art Gallery
• Over 800 classes during the 13-day period

Shoppers can find gorgeous finished jewelry, vintage jewelry, accessories related to jewelry, even some buttons -- most attendees come because they either love jewelry making or just buying jewelry. Annual attendance is approximately 14,000 people from every state and 50 countries around the world -- it's quite international.
