Welcome to Breakables at the BreyerFest Birthday Bash!
Kick off BreyerFest with a show that shines - Breakables at the BreyerFest Birthday Bash! Breakables is an all-china & OF Resin/Cold Cast Porcelain show. This special show, hosted by Breyer at the Holiday Inn North, is for horses and other equids made using clay, bone china, porcelain, and resin (for large production OF finish runs only). Many of the hobby’s finest artists have created some of the most exquisite pieces in china, and fine examples of these will be at the show. If you are a china and/or and OF resin collector, then this is the place you need to be!

When the pizza arrives you can come up when you have time, turn in your ticket, then eat!
