World's largest consumer bead show returns to Milwaukee

The Bead&Button Show — the world's largest consumer bead show — returns to Milwaukee's Midwest Airlines Center June 11-18, 2006. Beading is America's fastest growing hobby, and for one week, Milwaukee becomes its capital as more than 16,000 enthusiasts takeover downtown. Show attendance has tripled since its 2001 Milwaukee debut.

The Bead&Button Show transforms the Midwest Airlines Center's third floor into an international marketplace, which opens to the public June 16-18. More than 350 vendors from around the world will pack the marketplace floor.
