Article about HLCCA Member in Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune

Covered onion soup bowl from Fred Mutchler's collection
The September 14th issue of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune includes an article about the dish collection of HLCCA member Fred Mutchler. Attendees at our 10th anniversary conference in Minneapolis in 2008 will recall touring Fred's collection as a part of that year's festivities. Plus, in a sidebar, the article included nice blurbs about HLCCA, the Collectible Medium Green message board, and Bob & Sharon Huxford's Collector's Encyclopedia of Fiesta.
