Beginner Questions Regarding First Day Covers

Hi. I apologize if this is the wrong section or if this has already been covered.

How can I find out when stamps are going to be issued?

How can I find out what post offices have the first day cancellations?

Thanks for any information you can share. I want to get in on the fun of making first day covers.

If you're asking about US stamps, isn't this on the USPS website?

I would think it would be on the USPS website. And it very well might be, but I can't find it.

Lloyd at the Virtual Stamp Club keeps a running list of issue dates and First Day Ceremony locations for US Stamps

USPS.COM will list the 1st day of issue, the Post Office(s) where it is being issued, technical information, and a history of the issue. It also provides information on stationary, & other items related to the issue, such as formats, # of designs. You just need to dig for some but most is available with a couple of clicks The issues are noted at least 30 days prior to issuance (in most cases).
