ABOUT THE SHOW
Bob Johnson started the DC Pen SUPERSHOW in 1992. With his continued vision and dedication in establishing a venue for pen enthusiasts to meet, sell, and discuss their interest in fountain pens, Bob created the largest pen show in the world drawing attendees from numerous countries and states.
Sadly, Bob passed away in September 2020 but his sister and nephew, both long time pen show helpers, carry on his legacy.

What is a Weekend Trader?
The Weekend Trader pass dates back to the early years of the show who wanted the full show experience minus the table. While the pass expanded as the show expanded, the original name stuck leading to the current four day all access pass.
The Weekend Trader pass is perfect for pen enthusiasts who want more time with exhibitors and other hobbyists as well as access to all events. If you have a large quantity of material to display we do not recommend the this option as it does not come with table access.
