The show was held at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds in Coeur d'Alene, ID with 20
vendors present. There were nine different workshops scheduled for Saturday and Sunday
as well as many demonstrations going on at vendors 'booths. A food concessionaire
provided food and an area was set aside for eating, visiting and relaxation. The pictures
you will see here were taken with you in mind so that we could share them with you. The
show hours were 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 4 pm on Sunday. We do not
represent a show promoter or any specific company other than our own, Stamps Galore. 
This report is presented  in the spirit of  "Rubber Stampers" who we always see having lots
of fun at shows!  While you are reading this introduction, the pictures are loading so "kick
