Queen Open House?

[vikingdog]

Does anyone know if Queen will have an open house this July as in previous years? They used to do it every other year I believe and it was the same weekend as the GEC open house.

Thank you! I was hoping the factory tour wouldn't be on Thursday only. I could never figure that out.

According to David Clark's note, I believe the open house - the factory tour - is ONLY on Thursday, as it has always been. Queen Collectors events and Sale are Friday and Saturday.

I don't know why it is has been on Thursday, though I can see why you would want to limit a bunch of gawkers lose in a plant with lots of whirring machines. I am surprised the plant tour is still available - you'd think new insurance underwriter/ownership and that risk is history.

I am pleased that the Collectors Club and Queen have again collaborated on adding this very interesting tour to the Queen Collectors show. It is a rare opportunity to see knives made by hand.

I will also say that for the past several events the Queen show has attracted some very good Queen collections - lots of very nice knives to see and maybe buy.
