Chicago Pipe Show in 2020 cancelled. See you in 2021!
The Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club is sad to
announce that we cancelled our contract with the Westin hotel today because of
the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. The safety of our community is our primary
concern and we have been monitoring the situation carefully hoping that
countermeasures would reduce the rate at which the disease is spreading. However, the increased
infections throughout the world, and here in the Chicago metro area, appear to
be on the rise. The airline restrictions, combined with state and local restrictions
on meetings, will make it impossible to hold our international show in 2020. Our
Show dates in 2021 will be May 1st and 2nd. All exhibitor
deposits and payments are credits toward the 2021 show tables. If an exhibitor wants
a refund, please contact me and a refund will be made.
The Chicago Pipe Show thanks all of the exhibitors,
sponsors and supporters who registered for tables and hotel rooms. The Show
also thanks Chuck Martin, Allan Boyd, and Paul Bender for the many hours spent
in finding and working with the Westin.
