The Webfooters 31st Annual Antique Paper Show will go into the books as one of the most fun we have ever had. Thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make it happen. We overcame several challenges and built our attendance to levels of four years ago. It was really inspiring to see some new faces in the crowd. Several dealers said this was the best Webfooters Show they had ever had and I was so happy to find some really great pieces to add to my collections.

Look for big changes next year. We are on the move to a more convenient location with more avenues of access, including regular bus service.

Thanks to Photographer John Staub for all the fantastic photos to remember the show!!!
