Yea.. adults talking ‘marbles’,
just as they did as children and hoping to lure a few others yearning
for some nostalgia. See some of Americas greatest marbles and collections.
All kinds of stuff. Rooms are open all day Fri. & Sat. for you
to browse and ask questions.
If you played marbles as a kid,
you will love the Badger Marble Show.

The venue is the Howard Johnsons Plaza Hotel (same hotel as last year)
on Madison's east side. It is convenient to entertainment, shopping,
dining, and other activities. We are sure you will like the show facilities
and accommodations, plus there is a fine restaurant in the hotel. Our
new host is certain you will be assured another outstanding marble
experience.
Many people miss some of the most informative, and possibly most interesting
aspect of a marble show. That would be Friday and Saturday prior
to the actual show in which marble collectors and show presenters exhibit
their marbles in their rooms. Many marbles are bought, sold, and traded.
You can really get to know marbles and collecting during this time.
Rooms will be open most of Friday afternoon, evening, and all day Saturday.
Just walk up and down the halls and visit any room that is open. If
you really want to know marbles, attend early. It is a good time to
buy, sell or trade or just get to know collectors.
