We announce them all the time - 3rd Sunday 2 PM pretty much every month - currently in Hillside. We have about 12-15 regulars now.

I just found this group after hearing about the Chicago Pen Show on the latest Pen Addict podcast. I was very happy to hear it will be so convenient for me to go there so I can attend my very first pen show. I too live way west of Chicago on the windswept plains outside the city. I'm north of Belvidere and about 7 miles south of Wisconsin.
Wow, I have all these pen neighbors! Maybe we should have a Rockford or Belvidere get together. I've always been willing to do the hour to hour and a half for the Chicago club but, I know most people aren't. We had a get together at Old Orchard for a group that wanted to meet more northeast of Hillside and we will probably do this again (Laura?). Finding a place is the hardest part for a group.

How big is the group? I would love a closer meeting.
So far there are three of us but, if we put something out there maybe we can find a couple more. Terie, don't know if you caught it but, I can't make the regular club meeting this month so maybe February which would be on the 21st if you are interesting in going to Hillside.

Well if it is on a Sunday and not too big, our tattoo shop is closed. So we could use it
Terie;
I would think it would be 6-8 at the largest so if you have a table to sit around that would work. We'll have to see if Sunday works but, that has been historically the best day. I'll start publicizing it and see who all we turn up.

Yeaaaa - It will be my first trip to the Chicago show ( along with our sometimes assistant Brad D)
Hey Roger,
Looking forward to the pen show and meeting up with the rest of the Chicago group!
Glad to here it! We are working hard to put on a great show.

You guys are killing me. I wasn't going to try to go, but now I really want to! Especially if Vaness1938 is going to be there...I stalk your pen club meetings on Periscope!
Any other down-staters here? I'm really in Central Illinois, but as we from Illinois know, anything that's not Chicagoland is "southern Illinois."
I'm in 'southern Illinois' but we drink pop up here, not soda (or sodee, as the case may be). BTW, I drink neither.
We have met the enemy and he is us.

I drank pop until I moved here. Now I drink soda, but never sodee.
No soda here only pop in northern illinois lol
I have lived north for a very long time but, I'm from Mt. Zion/Decatur. My fellow downstaters - you need to come up to the show!

I plan to be there on Sunday! First pen show for this newb!
