The Wooster Stamp Club will hold its 60th annual WOOPEX Stamp Show at Ida Sue School on Oldman Road in Wooster on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
WOOPEX, which stands for Wooster Philatelic Exhibition, has free admission with plenty of parking. The show will have displays of stamps and related items for attendees to choose their personal favorites. A seven-dealer bourse from Northeast Ohio will buy and sell worldwide and United States stamps, postcards, covers (envelopes of postal history) and supplies.
A post office substation will provide the latest new issues of the USPS for Christmas. A silent auction of dozens of items will be held at 3:30 p.m. The sign-up list will be at the registration table. There also will be an area where kids or beginners can obtain free materials.
