CHECK WITH THE PROMOTER TO MAKE SURE THE SHOW HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED
See DETAILS of 2020-2021 Show Schedules Below!!
More to Come!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
In light of the national health crisis and the closing of many events, canceled as well as postponed, any schedule you may find on line or in print is subject to possible revisions. Since we only advertise our events (that we produce), and those promoters that contact us with their information, we cannot mark a show"canceled " without contact from the promoter. Jim Mehrer's website schedule (which we highly recommend) also requires that the promoter that ran the listing, has to contact him to cancel that listing. Unfortunately there are commercial websites that have no contact with the actual promoters that simply 'pirate' the information from legitimate sites, and post it online for various purposes, so be advised that in those instances of using the commercial 'pirate' sites, you may be at risk of completely wrong or incomplete (or at the least, not the 'latest', show information or changes), as the affected show promoter has no idea the commercial 'pirate' site is using his show info, therefore can't know where or how to update it. In any case, the best policy is to CHECK WITH THE PROMOTER TO MAKE SURE THE SHOW HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED

LETTER FROM Jim Taylor:

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO:
Heritage Event Company, Gail Kinney,

CourthouseSquare.net held our NEW August New Braunfels TX Postcard show, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 21,22,23, 2020. It was part of the Heritage Event Company's Summer New Braunfels Antique Show. It went off without a hitch, great attendance and attendees, super vendors. Our postcard portion of the show was a great success. Our postcard dealers included Norm Porter, Tracy Bradford, Susan Nichols, Roger Synnott, Joe Corcoran, Suzy and John Bigelow, Jim Taylor, (our good friend Lee Lanning had broken an arm, we wish him well and we look forward to having him at our new Oct. 2,3, Houston Postcard Show, and Oct. 9,10, Plano(Dallas) show.) We appreciate all the fine comments about the event, and we were more than proud to be able to present it. We met all CDC Guidelines, local city/county guidelines, and had a great time. Our event had Social Distancing, Masks, hand sanitizer, great postcards, and Texas BBQ. What else could we ask for. Onward to the next show. CourthouseSquare, (Jim Taylor) will be attending a new Heritage Event Company Land Run Antique Show in Shawnee OK, Sept 26,27, and will be bringing lots of new inventory, as well as archival supplies. Oklahoma City area high quality antique shows are always fun, and Gail Kinney and Heritage have produced the very best in the area for years. Call or email for details.

The Wichita Postcard Club officers wish to announce that our October 2020 Postcard Show is postponed. Instead, it will be held on October 16 and 17, 2021. This year's show theme "Real Photo Postcards & Messages - Capturing History" will roll over to be next year's show theme, and Ken Wilson of Dripping Springs, Texas, has agreed to be our speaker on October 17, 2021. We will be set to have lots of fun and look forward to seeing everyone this next year.
In the meantime, we encourage everyone to continue to be safe, wear a mask when you go out, and avoid the closeness of crowds.
This decision has been made with the utmost concern for the safety of our members. We thank you for your understanding.

NOTE:
Super 8 Wichita- East Kellogg is still hosting those dealers and collectors that wish to spend any or all of the "Wichita Week" hotel pre-show at the hotel, for the annual 'room hop' shopping. Common sense guidlines for whatever the national health scene is in October will be recommended. For additional info and some of the dealers known to be coming to the hotel during some part of the week of Oct 11-18, 2020, contact your dealer, or email CourthouseSquare for additional information.
