Hosted by the Strait Stamp Society, whose members celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, the event features complimentary stamps for children, several door prizes, a penny stamp table, the postal service on site, dealers, exhibits and more each year. Stamp aficionado (and club member) Phil Castell said this year’s show drew about the same attendance as 2023.
