St. Louis Pen Show (Sponsor)

My thanks to the St. Louis Pen Show for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

From Thursday, June, 22nd to Sunday June, 25th, the pen world heads to the Gateway City. Have you made plans yet? If so, great! If not, here is a sampling of what you have to look forward to:

• Over 170 vendor tables.
• Around 20 classes over the three public days, featuring calligraphy, cursive handwriting, journaling, letterpress, vintage pens, Pen Repairs, and others.
• KWZ Missourah Crawdad! Your first chance to pick up this show exclusive ink.
• Low admissions rates at $5 for a single day pass, $10 for all three public days, and $30 for the four day trader pass.
• Great hotel rates, which include breakfast daily.
• Tons of door prizes throughout the weekend.

Time to make plans to meet your friends in St. Louis! Head over to the St. Louis Pen Show website for all of the details, buy tickets, and book your hotel for the pen show rate, which always sells out.
