LINPEX: 2008 Palmares
The annual Lincoln Philatelic Exposition was held Saturday, Feb. 23-24, 2008. A good crowd of people attended both days. Exhibitors displayed 100 frames of their collections. Six dealers offered their wares at the bourse , while the U.S. Postal Service ran its booth. A children’s table offered young collectors the chance to begin their collections with stamps costing only a penny. The club offered a show cover honoring the U.S. Flag and its more than 50 appearances on stamps in the last 50 years.
