The HK House of Peers, in conjunction with Harmony Kingdom, was pleased to announce PASSPORT TO THE KINGDOM, an event in a part of the country steeped in history and now a playground for the well-connected folk. The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina was the host hotel. Located on Aquidneck Island in the city of Newport, state of Rhode Island, the event was from October 30–November 1, 2009; Halloween weekend.
We had something for everyone planned throughout the week once you arrived. The official event began with registration on Friday morning, October 30, 2009. However, you were welcome to participate in the pre-event activities: an optional outing on Thursday, October 29; and the local HK collector club hosted a dinner to welcome all collectors on Wednesday, October 28. There are also many attractions in the Newport area to enjoy during your stay. Our schedule was:
