A bit of crowdsource help, please, with pen show dates. I request info about dates and contact-links / websites for pen shows not already found. Though perhaps not formally stated, it might be obvious to many of you that I am serving as web master for the Fountain Pen Journal magazine's website. Erano doesn't do too much online, and I have history of setting up at least somewhat functional- albeit primitive- websites. I'm adding a Pen Show Schedule page to the website, hoping to help Paul preserve every possible print page in the magazine itself for fresh content.



I've set up a basic page with data I could find. I will make it perhaps a bit artsier down the pike. So far this is for North American shows, though later perhaps an intercontinental page could be added. If you know of any regional shows I've skipped-- their dates and websites-- please post here or PM me. I will add to the page. Also, that Beta-Testing thing again. Lemme know if the darn page works or if there are glitches. Thanks kindly.

Have you checked out this forum here?

It might take a bit of work, but I think most N.A. shows are typically announced/talked about there.

However, the one that I don't see on your list is the Chicago Pen show in April I think... there's a link for it on the board I linked above.

You might also check out the same board over at FPN

Looks like they have a calendar: http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/calendar/

Thanks. I'll add Toronto now that I've had data offered. Anyone have info on the Little Rock, AK show?

Not sure if you've seen Susan Wirth's web page with show information: http://pw1.netcom.com/~swirth/2000.htm
