Not sure how active the Denver area group is on FPN, but the show is a great event each year.

I’m not sure there’s many of us on here, and it’s always a reminder that Denver is pretty isolated from other U.S cities.  But yeah, this October will be my third trip to the Colorado Pen Show.  Not the biggest by a long shot but still loads of fun.

Just checked the website for the show and Anabelle Hiller (nib technician, goldsmith, and once and possibly still current in house nib specialist for Appelboom), DBA Opus Cineris, will be at the show in Denver this year.  I think that’s a first.

I am a newbie in Colorado and can’t wait for the 2026 show. Just got into pens…. Have 7 so far

It’s a smaller show but well run in my experience.  Kirk Speer always has a large presence and is available for nib work if you sign up early enough.  Dromgoole’s is a perennial vendor too and is a very fair dealer as well.  Show tends to lean more towards/modern pens but always 3-4 vintage vendors there, including one who specializes in Pelikan, if that’s your thing.

Thanks for the info. Yes my first pen purchase (3 pens actually) was at Pen Realm and I met Kirk. Great guy.
