The tenth Annual NDGA Convention was held in Houston, Texas, at the Shamrock Hilton Hotel on July 14-15, 1984. Show Chairman was Jo Ann Schliesmann, who was also the NDGA President at the time. There was a members-only preview held on Friday night, July 13, attended by over 400 members.
On Saturday night, a dinner-dance was held in the Hilton's Embassy room. After the dinner there was a presentation on shakers and Georgian Lovebirds, and Fern Angus gave a brief history of the NDGA over the first ten years. The band was Country/Western (of course, this was Texas) and Kevin Kiley and Lana Hill joined the band to entertain attendees with their singing.
There were three seminars presented at Houston. The speakers and their topics were:
The displays included Cambridge "Apple Blossom", Heisey "Zircon", "Royal Lace" in both green and blue, Fostoria's "Baroque" in yellow and blue, Butter dishes, McKee "Rock Crystal", pink "Cameo", animals, "Flower Garden and Butterfly" black candlesticks, and several more.
