The 72nd Rocky Mountain Stamp Show will take place May 26-28, 2023, at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds Exhibition Halls A and B, 25690 E Quincy Ave., Aurora, CO 80016. Hours are Fri. and Sat. 10am-6pm and Sun. 10am-3pm. The event is free is open to the public. This year we are expecting to fill the 400 available frames with world class exhibits from our convening societies and the participants in the AAPE-sponsored George Brett Cup Competition. Our bourse floor will accommodate 42 dealer booths and 13 society and activity booths. The 2023 show theme is ‘The Birds of Colorado’. We will have our popular What’s in Your Attic? booth where you can learn about an inherited accumulation or rekindle your interest in a long-neglected collection. The Metro Denver Young Stamp Collectors Club will have youth activities scheduled throughout the show, including a Stamp Collecting Merit Badge class on Sun. May 28th at 10am. Our show wouldn’t be complete without the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library’s Silent Auction, a major fundraiser for this important volunteer-run philatelic community resource. We are looking forward to hosting the largest show in our region for a second year at the ‘new’ venue. It truly has some strong advantages over the ‘old’ venue (better lighting, more space, less noise, better food choices on site) and right across the hall will be the Denver Postcard and Paper Show. The official show hotel and site of the awards banquet is the DoubleTree by Hilton – Denver/Aurora, 13696 E Iliff Pl., Aurora, CO 80016. A free shuttle will provide rides between the hotel and fairgrounds during show hours.
