Garfield-Perry will welcome not one, not two, but three societies to March Party 2027.
The United Postal Stationery Society, the Society of Israel Philatelists and the Germany Philatelic Society will convene at the show, set for March 12-14.
The UPSS had scheduled its visit a while back. Leaders of SIP and GPS met during Boston 2026 and settled on meeting at the 137th March Party.
“We are pleased to welcome a diverse prominent group of collectors to the March Party,” Rocco Caponi, show co-chair, said. “Their presence points to our continued growth as one of the best shows in the country. It will be quite a party.”
With such a trio of prominent societies on hand, the show promises to host great exhibits and plenty of guests. All three organizations are expected to host meetings and lead presentations to enlighten showgoers about interesting aspects of stamps and postal history in their area of specialty.
It may be tight at the show site, the Best Western Plus in Strongsville, but “we’ll make it work,” Caponi said.
If that’s not enough, Caponi said GP is expecting to host another first-day ceremony for a yet undetermined stamp issue and a Postcrossing meetup.
The show prospectus will be available in mid-September on the club website at www.garfieldperry.org.
Make plans now to attend.
