Todd Steinhoff is in the house! Seeing our dear friend from Progressive Components brought smiles to all at Amerimold who knows him. Here, he catches up with John Berg, another good friend from Sussex IM, as they wait for the Leadtime Leader festivities and Networking Party to begin.

Blackjack is always fun, and many guests enjoyed trying to beat the house in this game of chance at Amerimold while enjoying some cold beverages.

You want silly, we got it at Amerimold. Gisbert Ledvon of Heidenhain is a sport as he kindly “models” the plastic mustaches that came with every bottle of beer served at the Networking Party. What a hoot!

Allison (Allie) Kline Miller, director of events for Gardner Business Media, and Ryan Delahanty, publisher of MoldMaking Technology and Plastics Technology, are enjoying the Networking Party and Allie’s got her “flapper” look, too! Is that a Wanted poster behind them? See the next slide to find out...

One of several WANTED posters that were posted around the Amerimold Networking Party. It all goes with the Roaring 20s and mobster theme of the evening, and they are pretty funny, too!

Something new and fun at the Networking Party was the gift of a hand-rolled cigar. Guests could choose between three different types and enjoy them outside or take them home.

In lieu of a DJ, this year’s Networking Party had dueling pianos to entertain guests. Everyone enjoyed the music, and many requests were taken for rock, country, easy listening and more.

She may look innocent but… Another WANTED poster seen by guests during the Amerimold 2019 Networking Party. If you have any information leading to the apprehension of Christina Fuges, call the local authorities! Ha!

Family Feud – Moldmakers Edition! A fun competition was hosted by MMT Editorial Director Christina Fuges and Tony Demakis of Alliance Laser Sales (shown here, center). May the best moldmakers win!

What is the most absurd customer request you’ve received? This was one of 10 questions asked as part of Family Feud, Moldmakers Edition. Survey says..!

During Family Feud, Moldmaker Edition, survey answers ran the gamut from more serious to funny and, at times, R-rated, as seen in this shot. No matter! We who work in the industry know the unique culture and humor that abounds – nothing surprises us!

Every Amerimold, guests don boas, hats and other silly gear and pose for the cover of MoldMaking Technology. Looks like these guys are having a lot of fun together!

Amerimold is fun. Amerimold brings many opportunities for networking, meeting old friends and colleagues and just getting a bit silly and relaxing. This is especially true of Amerimold’s annual Networking Party, which everyone looks forward to after the first day of the show closes. We would like to thank Progressive Components for once again sponsoring this great event.

This year’s theme was the Roaring 20s, in honor of Amerimold’s 20^th anniversary! Of course there were a lot of beverages and some good food consumed, but we also had a few new things for all who joined us.

Here are some fun (and silly) moments from this year’s event. We hope they make you smile! If you were there and you have some fun pics to share, please send them to us. If you missed the party this year, there is always next year in Novi, Michigan!
