    I use to keep them in the kitchen cabinet, use a couple when we went to shows, carry a few in the garage but Brenda decided I was taking up too much space in the kitchen so I started stacking them up in the back bedroom where I keep all my books and toys. HRP

    Mugs hang in the workshop in my ba*****t. The nsra mugs are on one wall and the gg mugs are on the opposite wall.

    If you know the organization history, you know why I separated them this way.

    A few years ago I put a bunch of them in a box and took them to Carlisle and tried to sell them for a buck each. No takers. By end of the weekend I marked them down to a buck for the whole box. Still no takers. Now that box is living out in the barn with a few others. I'm not sure where their next stop will be.

    I've gotten a few from GGs. I drink home brewed iced tea year 'round and they're pretty good for that.

    I think the earliest one is from a cat show in 1977. HRP

    Last year they all went to Goodwill during a major decluttering. Don’t miss a one!

    Sorry but I've never recieved a stein for participating in anything. I guess the SCTA/BNI is behind the times and my car gatherings are local.

    I like that Goodwill donation idea, thanks @hotrod1948. The local thrift store that helps support a private school will be getting mine.

    Give them away to someone who likes to dust. Throw them away. Don't take one. I only keep the ones that have lids, like the style you get at the Turkey Run.

    Minutes after I get one, I give it to the first little kid I see. They always have a big grin!
