The Ohio Classic has a "Special Guest Club" program that really benefits members who return year after year.
It was developed as a way to show appreciation to the collectors and buyers who attend the show. A way for them to get a little more bang for their buck.
To become a member, all you have to do is buy a knife from one of the tableholders at the show. Purchasing a knife at the show automatically makes the purchaser a member of the "Special Guest Club"
Each time collectors/buyers purchase a knife, they receive a Special Guest Club drawing card from the maker/seller of the knife. If you purchase a custom knife you will receive a card for the custom drawing. If you purchase a factory knife you will receive a card for the factory knife drawing. Cards are filled out by the purchaser and put into two large glass containers, from which winners are drawn on Saturday afternoon. It's kind of cool that attendees can observe how many knives are being sold by how many tickets are in the glass containers. And there was LOTS of tickets in these glass containers.
There are several other benefits in belonging to the Special Guest Club.
Members receive a special invitation the following year and get free admission for both days of the show. They are also admitted early, before the general public, on the first day of the show. There are snacks to munch on as members check things out and visit with the tableholders.
For members who are there during the Special Guest Club Early Entry time period and see a card marked SGC on a table, it means the tableholder will
give the Special Guest Club Members a 10% discount on any knife they buy during that time.
