This mouse has SOLD OUT! Mould Fund Mouse #3 will be a perfect Fall accent and a great addition to your collection of 'Patches' critters.  This eye-catching Orange Slice Satin NFGS mouse was made at the Fenton Art Glass Company in 2011 - one of the last mice made before the furnaces were shut down.  Frances Burton has adorned it with fall-tone patches.  The design in the patches remains the same, but the colors complement the color of the glass. This little mouse can be yours for $60, of which $30 will go to the Mould Fund. We will begin accepting orders November 1, 2017.      2017 First-Timer Winners By Becki Ann Selby For eighteen NFGS members attending our 17th Annual Convention it was their first convention experience.  The first official activity was the First-Timer's Meeting where they get a little 'heads-up' on convention happenings. Several drawings were held during the meeting, with these folks beginning their day with a little more than special information.  Jayme Good's name was drawn for a pair of NFGS Aubergine mice 'ready to party' in a Wine & Cheese motif. Nora Saylor was the lucky winner of a bottle of Root Beer made by the Marietta Bottling Company. Daryl Osborne won a coupon good for a 30% discount on an item from Dave Fetty's sale!  Enjoy your winnings, and we hope to see you at our 18th Convention in 2018!                                                                                 Fenton Day at Wheaton Village Parking Lot Sign Has New Indiana Home  By Susie Ballard On June 8, 2017, the Fenon parking lot sign at the corner of Henderson and Elizabeth Streets was removed and relocated to Indiana.  It stands proudly cemented into the flower garden in back of the author's home.    Just 'Cuz it Says Fenton...
