Richard Siri sitting ‘Watch’ over the Northwestern Bottle Club’s Gazebo at the 2012 FOHBC Reno Expo.
The centerpiece display at this years FOHBC 2012 Reno Expo this past July was, without a doubt, the famous Northwestern Bottle Club’s Gazebo that was loaned to the FOHBC and the Reno Bottle Club to showcase the creme de la crop of bottles. This concept worked as this gazebo was stocked full of some of the greatest bottles you will ever see.
This special display project was spear-headed by Hall-of-Famer Richard Siri who is shown pictured above ‘guarding’ the display. Enjoy the video that was put together by Alan DeMaison (FOHBC Business Manager) and the photographs by Scott Selenak (FOHBC Photographer).
