Pen lovers from all over central Florida enjoyed the two public show days on Friday and Saturday; an added bonus was the Florida Hotel and Conference Center’s direct connection to a large shopping mall with dozens of restaurants.
The show featured hourly door prizes for attendees, including fountain pen giveaways from show sponsor Pilot, Visconti, Esterbrook, Molteni, River City Pens, Hinze Pen Co., Divine Pens Plus, and Magna Carta. Show sponsor Robert Oster Ink also provided a giveaway as well as the official show ink. Vendor Christopher Callison won a vendor door prize that covered his hotel stay, and vintage pen dealer Mike Dvoretz won a free table at next year’s show.
