"The “toothpick people” as Bower calls his buddies, will have seminars, displays, an auction, and other events. The Kansas City host will even throw a barbecue for the out-of-town visitors the night before the convention begins.

National Toothpick Holder Collectors’ Society ... 2011 convention ... will be at the Overland Park Convention Center July 7-9 (Kansas City). This year’s meeting will be in conjunction with a big glass collectors’ show, which will mean even more people. Makes sense, as a lot of 19th century toothpick holders were made of glass.
