Pen Shows After Dark Banner

Friday & Saturday Nights – Hotel Bar
The best part of a pen show is, of course, the people. Pen Shows After Dark occurs each evening as the show winds down in the Hotel Bar (the new hotel has a HUGE bar area). Bring your daily haul, grab a drink, and join other pen and stationery addicts for fun, networking, and checking out each other’s pens.
