• Where can I find irons and trivets to add to my collection? At the PITCA Convention! There's a day-long auction and then a Buy-and-Sell period. There's no better place to see more good irons and trivets for sale.

• Where can I sell some of my irons and trivets? At the PITCA Convention! There are lots of other collectors there ready-and-willing to pay fair (not unrealistic) prices. Don't bring common irons; everyone has those already.

• Where can I meet other iron and trivet collectors? At the PITCA Convention! You'll meet new collectors, experienced collectors, owners of small collections, and owners of big collections. You won't meet snobbish collectors.

• Where can I learn about irons and trivets? At the PITCA Convention! There are various kinds of presentations by those who know, e.g., slide shows, talks, displays and more. 

• What is the host hotel like? It's excellent. It's clean, beautiful, has a friendly staff, a good restaurant (where a delicious buffet breakfast is included in the very reasonable room rate) and bar, and the hotel is just off the interstate. There are lots of restaurants of all types very nearby.

• Is there someone I can talk to about this? Yes! PITCA officers are available to answer your questions and assist with membership and registration. Contact PITCA at PITCAinfo@gmail.com
