If tonight’s cocktail party at Borsheims is any indication, the crowds at this year’s Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend could set some serious records. It is PACKED!
Don’t believe me? Check the photos!

Berkshire Hathaway shareholders at tonight’s Borsheims cocktail party are enjoying some signature drinks from our bar this year. Take a look:
Hello Shareholders!
I want to officially welcome you to the kick-off of Berkshire Hathaway shareholder weekend 2011. The fun begins tonight with our shareholder only cocktail party at Borsheims. We are hard at work here getting everything ready for you. Our main work? Cramming carefully displaying as much jewelry as we can in our cases so you’ll have the biggest selection at the lowest price (Berkshire price!!!).
We also have hundreds of shareholders already shopping. So join the fun early. You don’t have to wait for the cocktails to be poured to start perusing the selection!
Welcome, and see you tonight!
Okay, so all 40,000 of you shareholders won’t fit in the tent at the same time, but about that many of you will be in the tent at some point this weekend. And why wouldn’t you? This place is fun once the food, bars, tables, band and shareholders get in here!
A few fast facts about the tent:
- It is the largest tent we can fit in our parking lot. Trust us. We’ve tried to make a larger one fit. It won’t.
- We are putting it up (today) Thursday and it takes all day to erect the tent and then get it all set up inside.
- This tent is tough… in past years, it has withstood torrential rain, crazy winds and even a little hail. But let’s not try that again.
Come join us in the tent. Party starts tomorrow and ends Sunday, and the tent will be here for all of it.
So… how about seeing what we look like on a non-Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder weekend kind of day?
We actually have a parking lot in front of the store... not just a large party tent.
Inside the store, without thousands of shareholders, you can almost see from one entrance to the other.
In Regency Court, there's room for sitting and listening to the piano when it's not packed with shareholders, bridge tables and bars.
But the Borsheims Bridal event does have a lot in common with the big Berkshire party. Complimentary cocktails, an expanded selection of jewelry, designers in the store. Who wouldn’t want to attend? And great news if you’re in the market for an engagement, anniversary or wedding ring – the party is this weekend so you can get a little Borsheims fix in before Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend.
Here are the details:
This Friday and Saturday (March 25 – 26) during regular store hours.
Nine ring designers bringing an expanded inventory of engagement, wedding and anniversary rings.
Enter to win great prizes including an engagement ring, champagne flutes, cake cutting set and wedding photo frame.
12 month no interest financing available on ring purchases.
If you’re local or happen to be visiting this weekend, hope to see you at Borsheims. If not, don’t worry – we’ll have plenty of inventory on hand for you during Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend!
Hello Weekenders,
Every year, I am able to get tons of amazing pictures from the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder’s Meeting. So, this year, I wanted to put up a blog post that features a ton of photos from the Berkshire Weekend. These photos were taken from the Borsheims Cocktail reception on Friday night, the shareholder’s meeting at the Qwest Center on Saturday, the the Berkyville Picnic at NFM on Saturday and the Borsheims Shopping Day on Sunday.
I also just wanted to say a personal thank you to everyone who attended the shareholder’s weekend this year. You were all really nice and I know that I speak for Borsheims, Omaha and myself when I say that I had an amazing time. You are the best shareholders in the world! See you again next year.

Best Wishes,
