I'm planning on being there tomorrow. It's about a 4 hour drive, but it's been 3 years since I've been to a pen show, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Should be a great show! Stop by and chat at The Write Pen table and bring any vintage pen repairs you may need to have done!

Well, I've got one that's a challenge...

The show was really good for us.  I didn't buy a single pen this time, but I did pick one up to restore and sell from my Etsy shop.  The only other purchase was a birthday card for Julie's mom.

The show was fantastic and so much fun! I got some great pens including a sweet Emerald Pearl Vac from gweimer1! I'll try to post some pen and show pictures when I get my act together!

Local news covered the show with a nice segment and discussion with Shawn Newton.  I managed to end up on one of their shots.

Some other shots from the show. Mostly vendors wandering around in these shots before public came in.  We had great crowds Friday and Saturday.

Beautiful pens @PAKMAN  I hope someday I can attend the Arkansas Pen Show.  I live due north of Arkansas in Missouri. I’ve been to Bentonville and Fayetteville.
