Our 1st annual FTCCO Fiesta event was held on May 16-19, 2024 in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Spring was in the air and it was a perfect time for a garden party. With months of planning behind us, we were ready to welcome roughly 200 FTCCO members and staff from FTC to our "garden".  Thursday morning, we started our week off with  a visit to The Fiesta Tableware Company (FTC), in Newell, WV for guided tours of the factory and FTCCO event attendees had a rare opportunity to create their own art in a "paint-a-plate" workshop.    Attendees were also able to take a stroll through the FTC factory museum to see many rare and one-of-a-kind pieces.   On Thursday evening our welcome party kicked off and our garden was buzzing with games and prizes. Attendees had a chance to visit the "Potting Shed" where everyone received an FTCCO exclusive limited edition, Fiesta Sky flowerpot decorated with the Fiesta Dancing Lady and Liz McIlvain's(President of FTC) signature...
