Stamp Show Season in Ohio

McKinley Stamp Show Feb 2026

Hello from the frozen Lake Erie, after driving through a snowstorm on February 6th to North Canton, Ohio the 2nd day of the McKinley stamp show attendance improved greatly. Thank you to all that braved the weather and visited the Rattlesnake Island Local Post (RILP) table.

Next show is the Toledo Stamp Expo 102nd annual show featuring RILP along with 17 other stamp dealers. This wonderful 2-day show is on Fri. Feb. 27th & Sat. 28th. Hope to see you there.

If you can't make it next weekend to Toledo, then Ohio's largest show is Mar. 13th - 15th. This "World Series of Philately" show features approx. 34 dealers and 173 exhibit frames in which winners will be eligible for the national show. RILP will have a table there and I will be glad to share all of the exciting news about our 60th anniversary plans for this year.

Last stop before the First Day of Issue Ceremony is the Boston 2026 show. The 8-day international show only comes to the USA once every ten years. RILP will have a table on the last 4 days of the show - May 27th - 30th. Also, we will be unveiling the 60 year anniversary 4-stamp issue at the show. More emails to come about the Boston 2026 show and the First Day of Issue ceremony on Aug. 27, 2026 at the Liberty Aviation Museum.

Until we meet, keep making those beautiful hexagons from the USA's only airmail local post triangle stamps,

Dave Gill - PMG of RILP
