Sounds like we will know what the 2009 Store Event and Regional releases are very shortly!
Anyone care to speculate on what they are?
I was amazed that Tony's news about the Store Event pieces and Bill signings didn't create more chatter around here!
This bit of info I did pickup on a dealers website: The Store Event piece will be numbered - HL804 and cost us $61.
Anyone know when the next Legacy or Musings is due ???

Hey Bert! I just missed you the other day. I was coming out of the Plainville Post Office and I saw the MTNHKR plate going up the road. Legacy? Musings? Harbour Lights doesn't seem to keep with an exact schedule on these. They will come when they will come. Bob

I guess the news about the in-store event piece and the location of the signings is due any day.
It was supposed to be announced in February.
Must still have some issues to be hammered out before HL can make it official.

Anybody hear any rumors, or news? Still no offical news on the In-Store event release. We should be due for a new Musings, it's been awhile. When's the next Legacy? April? How about any rumors on the Collector Society pieces for 2009?
Wasn't it Rosanne Rosannadana who said "You ask alot of questions"!

I was wondering about Dave H. Is he still with HL? I thought I read a farewell note in the newsletter? I hope I was wrong and misunderstood it.

I should let Dave answer this but since I also am not an employee of HL I will attempt to explain.. Dave works with HL on their Regional's as a result of putting together and running the last Reunion as an outsource company for them. I shoot pictures for HL for their website and the Legacy as an outsource person, also. We are both longtime HL collectors from Indiana and lighthouse nuts in general. Together we formed the Hoosier Lighthousing Club which, due to some great people that joined from the start, is still going strong and has done some great lighthouse restoration work. Dave is one of the most avid lighthouse people you will ever meet and the forums are lucky to have him a part of them.
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Thanks for the response and very nice words, Paul.
Terry, what Paul noted is pretty much the situation. About 2004 Harbour Lights realized that they no longer had the in-house manpower that they could dedicate to planning and conducting events. That is when and how I came into the picture. Sometimes I have planned just the event, sometimes activities around the event, or sometimes I have done both. Always fun, and some really great collectors have participated over the years.
HL is still trying to decide for sure how to approach this year - hopefully decisions will happen soon so there is time for planning by all.

Thought I'd pass this info on to those interested:
Friends of mine in Florida just told me they won't be going to a Bill Younger signing at Saint Augustine this year, as there is no Bill signing at Saint Augustine this year.

Yes I also heard this rumor.
It is sad that the Bill signing at the St Aug festival isn’t going to happen. It has been a tradition in my family since 2001. There was one year, I believe it was 2006, that Bill wasn’t at the festival and it just wasn’t the same.
I figured The Bill event at St Aug wasn’t going to happen this year since many collectors at the N.O regional informed Tony how much they were bored with the event. I think what they were asking was for something different, but to my remorse I feel all us collectors in the south is going to get that is different is no St Augustine Bill event.
Well I still have hope for a Charlotte Regional and a Bronze Lady store event. Maybe HL can have a Tony or Harry event down here for us.

I'm not the least bit surprised that Bill is not coming to St. Augustine this year after the disappointing turnout last year. In the 2.5 hours I was there last year(Bill started at 10AM instead of 11AM) and I had to leave at 12:30PM, there were only 4-5 people that showed up for his signing. Bill was very disappointed but the few of us that were there had a very long time to chat and that was enjoyable. Hopefully the Bronze Lady will have a signing.

I can't say that I blame them for canceling after hearing about the terrible turnout the year before.
The heyday of Harbour Lights has long since past. That doesn't mean that the line is no longer popular with a faithful following, but rather is suffering because of the bad economy. Many people can no longer afford to travel great distances to visit briefly with the members of the Harbour Lights family. Unfortunately for Harbour Lights, people are paying close attention to just surviving and do not have the expendable cash as in the past.
Another problem is the lack of "new blood" among the collector family. Without the influx of another generation of collectors, the down trend will continue through attrition. The sad part is the product line has never been better. Harry keeps putting forth some fabulous work but people have to consider food, clothing, and shelter before they can spend money on items that are not necessary to survive.
The economy will turn around some day. The question is will it be too late when it does.

Last year at the St Aug festival there was around 15 to 20 for the 2:00 drawing. As store events go that’s not bad. Yes; compared to 2001 and 2002 there was hundreds but for today I think the St Aug store event is fun and still brought in collectors. Yes; those that were there were the regulars but they each bought a lighthouse or two. I know I spent about $230 on lighthouses, the night with Bill and the St Aug lighthouse membership fee. This is money HL and St Augustine will not see this year.

I guess since Bill is only having 4 signings this year, HL would best have him at larger attended events.
I would expect he will be at atleast one Great Lakes event, they seem to draw well. Maybe he will be doing something along the Atlantic coast during the Summer tourist season.

I for one am hoping there is a Great Lakes event this year. Do to a busy work schedule we've missed the past couple of years. This year should be a little less hectic so we should have a better chance if there is one close.

I would love to see Bill at The Lighthouse Festival in Alpena. He always brings that something special to any event he attends. The last time he was there he was with his daughter Kim, and I won a set of Fersnel Lens Ornaments. It was a really nice weekend. And the food at the Holiday Inn dinners is incredible!!!!

I don't have any inside info, but I sense this is the year we finally add a couple of Chops to our collection.
Might even be the Collector Society pieces.

Loon, .....going on a "gut feeling" you may be correct as "us" collectors have been asking and waiting for these for a few years now.
And I hope you are not referring to Pork Chops either... (ha ha) However, I hear the sale of Bacon is increased 10% in this country. Poor pigs.... Sorry, off topic!

If it is the Chops, I'll be excited for all those who have expressed their wishes for them.
I have to say, I didn't know much about them until several CF members had them in their wishlist. After a little research, now I'm one of wishers!
As for rise in price of bacon, just another sign that the economy is still going in the wrong direction. Once prices start going down, then things will get better.

If the "Cape Annie's" hint is correct, than the 2009-2010 Collector's Society Piece should have MASS appeal.

Lets just ASSUME for a bit that the Chops are indeed the rumored collector's society pieces, then which light do YOU think will be the membership piece (free w/ membership) and which light will be the exclusive redemption piece? I think it will be as follows: East Chop Light (Just Tower) -Free Gift with Membership West Chop Light (Tower w/ Keepers House) -Redemption Piece What do you think? ....of course this is just "fun speculation", nothing official.... I'm sure someday we will see these light be made! (food for thought!)

Probably decided to wait till after the latest Founders Collection offer.
We've waited this long, a few more days or weeks shouldn't matter.

The latest "Founder's Collection" opportunity should be coming to a "close" today (April 15th) or relatively soon ......
I trust those who wanted to take part in this opportunity, somehow scrounged up some loose change and TOOK it.... as it may be the last time you see these being offered !

I already let my dealer know that I wanted to renew my membership and pre-ordered the exclusive piece. So I will let him handle it all for me. That is the way I did it last year and it worked out great.

2009-2010 Harbour Lights Collectors' Society Year is almost here!
Last February, I received more than 425 "choices" from Collectors, nation-wide, regarding possibilities for the 2009 releases!
The 2009-10 Harbour Lights Collectors' Society Replicas were the "choice" 125 times!
2009-10 Gift of Membership - East Chop MA Cost of membership is still $39.00
2009-10 Society Exclusive - West Chop MA MSRP: $75.00
These Replicas have left the factory and are expected in West Kennebunk the first week of May!

Tony,
Thanks for the "Official" announcement regarding the Chops (and I am not talking about Pork Chops either).
Since you have heard the official word, now everybody better either sign up or renew your membership for the 2009-2010 HL Society Year as it has been requested by collectors for the past several years.... CHOP CHOP!

Here is the path to Cape Annies site with a picture of the Regional. I am asuming it is okay to post this since Cape Annie has it on their site. It is listed as a production of only 550 Tybee cut range-regional Lighthouse

I can't remember how long it has been since many folks suggested East Chop and West Chop (Martha's Vineyard, MA) be added to the collection. It's about time they were. Bob

Interesting, the first thing that "popped" into my head when I saw the picture for East Chop is.... Edgartown, MA Very similar lighthouse design. I am assuming that the same person designed numerous "similar" looking lights in MASS (?)

Yes, when I visited the LD site, I thought the same thing, Edgartown.... Overall, this year's Society should be a good seller!
And here I thought I was going to have to stay up until Midnight tonight to get an "official" preview!

Anybody hear any HL news?
Might there be containers arriving in Wells, Maine with some new pieces ready for shipping to our favorite HL dealer?
Or are those West Chops shipping out this week?
Maybe a new Musings, think we're overdue!
What happened to the May Legacy?
How about the Summer HL releases, rumor had it we'd know in May???
As Rosanne Rosanadana would say "You ask a lot of questions" !!!

No, Officially, I'm not allowed to say anything (and I won't as promised) until HL finally gets around to "officially" let everyone else know what is going on regarding the latest June releases. They have seem to be running behind on everything from Membership Renewals to Musings to announcements of the latest releases....
Just trust me on this one, you'll be happy with what is soon to be announced and a few may just be on your "Wish" list! Besides, you finally got the "Chops" right?

Hoping to find out soon. I'll be glad if just one of my personal wishlist pieces are included, but I'm sure many of the CF will be happy if their's are included. Can't take any credit for the Chops, they have been requested for many years. My only suggestion was they be released as the CS pieces.

The Christmas piece looks nice. I'm trying to figure out why the Saginaw River piece is so expensive? At $120.00, there must be something special I can't see.

My East Chop Society Exclusive arrived yesterday. Cute little light. Glad you like it, but what's your definition of "little" as compared to other HL releases. Inquiring minds would like to know. Bob

Thanks for the info. East Chop, like Edgartown, is basically a simple looking lighthouse. It's not large, just a basic design, and looks like what you would expect a lighthouse to look like. I have visited East Chop many times while I was docked in Oak Bluffs. It is a simple but picturesque setting. I'm sure many of you who have visited East Chop would agree. Bob

Bob Actually, that is what I meant. I have not seen this lighthouse but, it looks like a cute, little, lighthouse in a picturesque setting. The Society Exclusives are usually smaller than other LE's too.

Looks like we are in for a 2009 surprise! Some info came my way about an offer if we buy at least 6 of the 8 new releases. Those of us who buy at least 6 of them will get a Jordan Point, Virginia Limited Edition. FREE It's about the size of the Detroit River piece. Heres a link to a pic of the actual lighthouse: Jordan Point Lighthouse Thank you, Harbour Lights !!!

Things seemed a little slow on the CF so I decided to email TonyC for a little HL info to spur some posting. Well I hit the jackpot with the Jordan Point info.

Thanks Loon. I called HLs and they said a postcard will be sent out to collectors and when you have bought the 6 pieces, you return the postcard to HLs and they send you the piece. I'm sure they will check to make sure you have actually bought the 6 pieces.

This is how it's gonna work:
With each piece will be a card. Fill it out with item# purchased and include sales receipt. Once you have six, mail them in to HL and they will send you the HL805 Jordan Point piece directly to you.
This piece will never be sold in stores. It will be retired once the promotion is over.
