Our Annual Show|
Members from all over the world attend the Wichita International Postcard Club Show each 3rd weekend in October. Not a postcard collector? You may become one if you try our show! They also make great gifts! Wouldn't Grandma love to have a postcard of her home town or the hospital where you were born? History abounds in postcards - everything from political to aviation to geographical to ...... You may not know where to start! Think about what you're interested in - music, animals, sports, your favorite vacation spot, the hospital where you were born, presidents , World Fairs, cowboys - it could literally be anything and I would bet one of the dealers can come up with something related to your interest! There are modern (rack)cards as well as cards close to 100 years old. The 31st Wichita International Postcard Show will be held on October 17, 18, and 19, 2008 in All Saint's Gym, 3313 Grand, Wichita, Kansas (across the street from St Joseph's Hospital) - just north and east of Hillside and Harry in southeast Wichita. Friday night is for members only (a good reason to join!) at 6:30, with open availability to the general public on Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 10-4. The show theme for 2008 has not been determined.. Display boards will feature postcards relating to to the show theme as well as linens, advertising, people, signed artists, transportation, state views, political, novelty, topicals and miscellaneous. Sunday includes Postcard Seminar at 8:30 am in the basement of the hall. |

Many of the dealers that set up at our show stay at the Wichita Inn located at 8220 East Kellogg in Wichita. Their toll free phone # is 1-888-685-8291. Local # is 685-8291. Due to the Kellogg project, the Williamsburg Inn has been demolished. The Wichita Inn however has been updated. Of course Wichita has MANY other motels including most of the major chains and many smaller ones as well. Feel free to contact us and we would be happy to help you out in finding accommodations. |

| Food
Many of the restaurants that were available near the Wichita Inn previously have been demolished due to the Kellogg expansion project. However there are numerous restaurants on Rock Road north and south of Kellogg. At the show itself, you can't beat the food served by the Knights of Columbus (9767). Their burgers and chili are great! Their pie is especially popular so be sure to get your piece(s)! There are several fast food restaurants close to the show if you want to take a quick break. |
