CHECK WITH THE PROMOTER TO MAKE SURE THE SHOW IS BEING HELD

See DETAILS of 2021 Show Schedules Below!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++

2021 Schedules

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 (those that we produce), and those promoters that contact us directly 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 (seo) 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', current version, 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. We only run our schedule here on our CourthouseSquare.net website, in Barr's Postcard News, on Jim Mehrers Postal History website. Any other location you find info on my shows is at the least unauthorized, and possibly false information, and is known to contain incorrect contact info. We stand by our listings, not responsible for others who steal it for their own purposes and personal gain.

If you are a promoter with shows in this calendar, and need to update, email us immediately.
