A message from Bob Morawski Commemorative Manager
A message from Bob Morawski Commemorative Manager “Each year the RWCS offers for sale a CrockFest Convention Commemorative to current members. It is a miniature reproduction of a vintage Red Wing stoneware, dinnerware or art pottery item. The revenue generated from the sale of the commemorative is the main income source to sustain the club. The identity of the 2025 Commemorative will not be revealed until the July 2025 Convention in Red Wing, MN. Commemoratives will not be sold after the end of Convention. If you have any questions, email me at commemorative@redwingcollectors.org
