Inaugural Event
From the welcome letter to the first event:
"It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the first annual, Las Vegas International Accordion Convention. How quickly time passes, this event has been a little over a year in the planning and it seems like only yesterday when I began to plan. Little did I realize that there would be such an outpouring of love for the instrument we all revere." – Paul Pasquali.
