My wife and I have reservations at the Renaissance Hotel for the 27th & 28th......providing the weather allows. As it gets closer we can make arrangements to meet.

Will anyone else be able to get there ??

Does anyone know what the theme for the show is this year?

I really like last year's, The Jefferson Expansion Memorial...AKA THE ARCH. They used 3 different personalized postage with photos of the Arch, an awesome pictorial postmark depicting the Arch, and good looking cachet. I placed the postmark on my route 66 Illinois map on the Missouri side of the Mississippi.

The theme this year is the anniversary of the Incorporation of Saint Louis.

HOORAY! We're both off work and arranged for a sitter. My wife and I will be there on Saturday Feb. 28th, hopefully before 11 am. Tom & Connie w/ respective spouses I hope to meet you there.

Awesome, Stamperdude! We're planning on meeting Tom and his wife on Saturday!
I am so excited--my first stamp show!

Gussy & Stamper.....check your email.

If you've never been to Collinsville Illinois (just east of St.Louis) , they have an interesting Cahokia Mounds welcome center Museum which is a must see.

wow....you guys are so lucky you get to go :)

If I stop in Collinsville I will be getting a photo op at the World's Largest Catsup Bottle (water tower) at the old Brooks factory. It is a route 66 Illinois icon. Cahokia Mounds is very interesting, I went as a teen in the 1990's with my boyscout troop and the burial grounds were still open for viewing.

My wife and I should be there Saturday around 10 am. We will also go to Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, Union Station, and Hard Rock Cafe. We will see what the day brings.

I'll be the short(5.5),young looking dude wearing a black Route 66 hat. LOL

At least I was able to get the catalog....

The Old Courthouse in St. Louis is also very appealing , I remember the first time I saw it I thought it was possibly a Capitol of some kind.
For those of you attending , good luck and have fun.

Maybe I'll stop and see the courthouse from the inside. Last time I was there we just walked by. The Arch was sold out of tickets to ride to the top.:(

Let us knw if you get some good souveniers!

johnstamp,
Do you mean from the expo or from site seeing? I am sure I'll have some from both.
