EDU--COLLECTING BUNNY BUTTONS by Claudia Chalmers

Who can resist a bunny! This presentation is an overview of buttons, old and new, depicting rabbits and hares. The program is designed with an eye on successful button competition, particularly in the pictorial sections, and is geared to beginning and intermediate collectors. It includes photos of many interesting and fun bunny buttons to help collectors with their button identification skills. Claudia Chalmers has been collecting buttons most of her life, following the steps of her grandmother and mother. She has served as a board member for the National Button Society and as bulletin editor, auction chairperson, and competition chairperson for the Minnesota State Button Society. Over the last twenty-five years, Claudia has written many educational button articles for state button bulletins and presented several programs at both state and national button events.
