I hope you were lucky enough to attend one of the pen shows this year. There’s nothing better than spending a weekend with fellow pen addicts. I attended my first pen show in 2021. That was during COVID. I signed up to attend the Chicago Pen Show early that year. The show was scheduled to be held in April of that year and I watched the date of the show slide through the calendar until it finally happened in October.
Since then, I’ve attended the Chicago Pen Show three more times, in 2022, 2023, and 2024. I’ve also added the Saint Louis, Pacific Northwest, and Dallas pen shows to my calendar. My plan is to attend all four of these shows again this year.
Today, I registered to be a vendor at the Philly Pen Show on January 17-19, 2025.
Five pen shows next year! I look forward to meeting all of my friends and making new ones, and I hope to see you there.
