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.

There will be an area where kids or beginners can obtain free materials. If you have stamps you want evaluated, bring them for viewing.
