Arizona State Button Society annual show

Not sure what people do at button society shows, but the AAA magazine where I learned about this society says that you can “see clothing buttons, educational exhibits, creative works, vendors and competitive displays.” (“Highroads”, January/February 2013 issue, page 60)
