2016 Northwest Pen Round-Up!

Pen Events Calendar

Event details

Hi all,

 

The 4th Annual Northwest Pen Round-Up! will be held on Saturday July
16th, 2016, at the Lucky Labrador Brewing Co. In Portland, Oregon,
from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. It is the same weekend as the largest
antique show in the Northwest, the Christine Palmer Antique Show.

 

Last year the attendance by both buyers and sellers was very good. The
attendance by vendors was better than we had anticipated and we had to
make extra room for a couple of the sellers. There were pen people
here from B.C., Washington state, Oregon, California, Arizona, Iowa
and likely other states.

 

There were plenty of fountain pens, mechanical pencils, and desk top
items. There was plenty of commerce in writing instruments, plenty to
buy, sell, trade, admire, learn about and discuss and also to meet
other collectors.

 

I saw quite a number of extraordinary vintage pens for sale. Also a
number of modern pens that I had never seen before.

 

The event room has air conditioning, so that's cool, literally and figuratively.

 

A number of people have planned a Summer vacation around the pen show
and the antique show. The Pacific coast always has nice cooler weather
than Portland and seldom does it get above 75 degrees there. There are
always lots of things to do around Portland. Portland prides itself in being a
little off beat and it is always an interesting city to visit.

 

All pen collectors and users are invited, wherever you are. We do not
limit this event to just people from the Northwest or the West Coast.

 

Admission is free. We only charge a nominal fee for vendors who want
to set up. If you would like table space, please contact us early, as
space is very limited.

 

If you would like to reserve table space please contact Stuart
Hawkinson or me Michael McNeil.

My first pen show. And I found a lovely JinHao with a different nib (Yay!) in a gorgeous color and it was affordable!
