October 23-25, 2009, was the Fifth Annual Willamette-PNNA coin show at the Lloyd Center DoubleTree Hotel in Portland Oregon. It was a very busy and successful Saturday (sunny weather) followed by a much slower Sunday (and rain). Many thanks to the excellent work of the entire group - a great group of volunteers. We have several exhibits, a treasure trivia and a scout coin collecting merit badge clinic. The scout clinic had seven scouts earn the merit badges, and the YN Treasure Trivia was successfully completed by about two dozen youth. Thank you to Katie Reinders who created 18 questions for the contest, involved dealers, coached the participants and ran treasure trivia both days. She did a great job stepping in, at the last minute, for Walt Ostromecki who was unable to make it to Portland.
