Are you a bottle collector, local history fan or just have that odd bottle on your shelf?

Consider attending the Hudson Valley Bottle Club’s fall open house on Friday, Oct. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. to learn more about local bottles, Hudson Valley glass-producing industrie, and the bottle collecting hobby.

Club members will be present to give attendees free identification and appraisals of all kinds of bottles and glassware.

Also present will be the club’s assortment of historical material tracing back to the club's founding in 1973. As it stands, the Hudson Valley Bottle Club is the only organization of its kind dedicated to preserving this unique hobby in the Hudson Valley.

The open house will take place at the Marlboro Presbyterian Church at 51 Grand St., Marlboro.

There will be snacks and refreshments available as well as bottles and small antiques for sale. If you have questions or want to join the Hudson Valley Bottle Club, contact Alex Prizgintas at 845-774-9856.
