Locally here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the KPS (Kent Philatelic Society) will have an annual stamp show and bourse. Twice a year I look forward to this show. The spring show is only one day and the fall show is two days. Here is additional information in case anyone is interested in attending and if you are from this region or area, message me and let me know, perhaps we can meetup at the show.

I received this in the mail a couple of days ago, advertising the upcoming bourse named in the subject of this thread. I thought it would be a neat little philatelic addition here.

I went to the bourse this morning, stayed briefly, stuck to my budget and took a few pictures. The show was well attended. The show organizers were complaining a little bit because they were not able to get into the building until 8:30am this morning for a 10am show. A number of dealers were complaining but hopefully the good attendance will also mean good sales for these dealers. Unfortunately it was not actually a show this time and there were no exhibits for display. In June there will be a two day show so hopefully there will be some more interesting things to photograph. I don't feel comfortable taking photos of individual dealer's items for sale so, sorry, no stamps to show. Later, however, I will scan and upload what I purchased. Today, I bought two small India collections...not really collections, but pages from an album that have been stapled into a manila folder and then priced. I love buying this way.
