Plans are for a great show this year, rebuilding from the great shows of the past. If you check a map of pen shows, the Little Rock show will provide a great opportunity for Southern “Penfolk” to attend a show without expensive plane tickets. If we continue to gain in local support and those from the surrounding states the show can really become a contender in the pen show circuit. Make plans to attend this year for some great pens, hospitality and good pen friends. And if you need repairs, I'll be working at the show.

Danny:
I have the show on my calender. I will be there and will bring a couple of pens for you to work your magic.
Thanks to all of y'all for supporting our show.

Sure wish I could make it. I work Friday and Saturday evenings. If it weren't a 4 hour drive, I could probably make some of it.

I am planning to attend, and thin my herd of unused vintage pens, and sell some moderns I purchased to resell. Have to send in my registration soon!

Donnie

I'll be there.

Danny, I would like to have a few nibs tinkered with if you are able to work them in.

Looking forward to it.

Bump ;-)

Bump, bump

Awesome! Thanks for putting this together guys.

I'll see you there as long as work doesn't send me out of town again.

I'm going to try to make the schlep from Dallas. It'll be nice to meet some folks face to face!
John

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the FPN folks myself!!

John - don't forget to bring the wig or we won't be able to recognize you !

Only 2 weeks to go!! Hope to see you there!

I live in Jacksonville, AR. But don't know may way around Little Rock. Someone I can follow?

Looks like I won't be attending after all, since I lost my job this past Tuesday. Either I will have started a new job and not be able to take the time off, or (horrors and God forbid) I might not have a job yet, and won't be able to afford to go.

Donnie

Bump to remind everyone in the area that the Arkansas Pen Show will be this Friday and Saturday!

Hoping the snow doesn't put a damper on the show.

Any contingency plans?
