I travelled to the Pacific Pin Club's 7th Annual West Coast Pin Collectors Celebration at the Richmond Cultural Centre on June 3, 2007.By all accounts, the 40 collectors at the event had a great time with many of them coming from out of town.
Collectors gathered from throughout British Columbia, Alberta, California, Oregon, Saskatchewan, Washington and Wisconsin. And more than 200 visitors ... and potential new Olympic Pin Collectors ... came to the show too.
The event was well covered by local media ... Global TV Saturday Noon News had a minute-long clip, and there were articles in Business in Vancouver, Ming Pao, Richmond Review, Sing Tao and 24 Hours about pin collecting and the show.
This kind of interest and media coverage bodes well for the hobby!
