Area XI-B Patches and Memorabilia
from the 1940's

Frank Kern from Bellingham, Washington provided information that the first area gathering was held in 1948 at Camp Black Mountain. To his knowledge, nothing was issued. The Section doesn't know if this was considered a Puget Sound Show Conference or just a meeting between lodges in the area. In any case, the Section considers the 1952 Puget Sound Show Conference the first official "11-B Conclave."
