For my upcoming club bourse (Barrie Ontario on October 15) I've put together a two frame/12 page exhibit of Niagara covers that I've been collecting. I like to research the people named on the covers, so it falls under the realm of Social Postal History.
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the actual bourse, because of a family obligation that's come up, buy the club is allowing me to enter anyway. (BlackJag and Bujutsu, if you attend, you'll have to fill me in how it goes)
But I thought I'd present my exhibit here for you folks. I hope you like it. I've certainly enjoyed putting it together.

Sorry that you can't make it but congrats on creating the exhibit in a short period of time. Family comes first.

We'll probably both bring you up to date.

Do you know if someone else is picking up the easels?

Outstanding exhibit, James! The subject matter is far from my collecting areas, but no matter -- I found it extremely interesting. Thank you for posting it.

Hi BlackJag
Yes, Bernard is picking them up but will probably need a hand. We'll talk at the meeting next week.

And, thanks everyone for the nice responses. I think this is an exhibit I can actually build on.

Thanks jamesw. I'll give him a hand picking them up for sure and possibly returning them as well.

Thanks again for all your nice comments. I understand the bourse was a success.
My exhibit won a vermeil ribbon as well as the club's Postal History Award and Best in Show.
Certainly will be building on this one.
