That is where the World Columbian Exposition was held, so I think they can handle it. Glad to see it will be after the vaccine is available so we can actually go to the show.

I'll have to put it on my calendar. It's been a number of years since I've been to a show there.

After some uncertainty, it was announced at the end of last week that the Great American Stamp Show will indeed beheld as planned, Whether you are a new or experienced collector, the Great American Stamp Show packs four days of shopping, seminars, exhibits, education and fun for all ages. (Bring your most comfortable shoes, you will need them!)
The Great American Stamp Show brings together stamp collectors from all over the world to share their ideas on the future of the hobby, the chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones!
The FREE event is co-sponsored by the United States Postal Service. The USPS will also have a large retail presence offering a selection of current U.S. stamps for sale.
For those planning to attend, enjoy the show...
Happy collecting!

I was surprised, but pleased to read of the APS's decision to go ahead with the show. I expected another year of "caution," hope it goes well.
