Featured Collector
Our Featured Collector is Hayden Minich. He is 15 years old.
 How long have you been collecting Coca-Cola® items?
I started collecting in 2005. My first items were Coca-Cola cars and trucks. In 2007, I attended Doug McCoy's bottle seminar at the national convention in Nashville, TN. I really enjoyed the seminar and have since been collecting bottles, carriers and crates.
 How long have you been a member of The Coca-Cola Collectors Club?
I joined the Club in 1996. My first event was in Elizabethtown, KY. I attended my first national convention in Nashville in 2007. Also, I have attended national conventions in Grapevine, TX. Denver, CO. and Atlanta, GA. I also attend Springtime in Atlanta every year.
 Are you a member of any chapters?
I became a member of the Smoky Mountain Chapter in June of 2010. Smoky fest is their chapter event and it is really a fun one to attend!
 What's your favorite piece, and how did you find it?
I would have to say my favorite Coca-Cola item is a 1950's 12 bottle aluminum carrier. I bought it while room hopping at the national convention in Denver.
 What advice would you give to a new collector?
I would advise anyone to join the Coca-Cola Collectors Club who enjoys collecting Coca-Cola items and attend chapter and national conventions. Volunteering is a big part of the conventions. I have especially enjoyed helping with the silent and regular auctions.
