no idea what the future holds but as of now it is on. My intent is to have the show if i can. If there is some travel issues or if you can't have more than 10 people in a room i guess it will be a problem. A lot of people drive so that should be a plus. I can see large events cancelling where there are thousands of people but the number of people at the show is more like the numbers you might find at a grocery store so not sure what type of restrictions there might be.  If there are any changes i will post here, on FB sites, and my show website  www.chicagoswordshow.com

I agree. Not only bars, restaurants, & all tourist attractions are closed down, but the entire island of Kauai has a 9 PM - 5 AM curfew! And our governor is asking tourists to stay away for the next 30 days, so the chance that a sword meeting is going to happen is zilch.

**********2020 Chicago SHOW CANCELLED*******

The hotel just contacted me to say in line with CDC guidelines they are cancelling all events in April. If you have a room reservation they should cancel it Tuesday and you will get an email. If you have paid for table(s) give me a week and i will contact you. I will have dates for 2021 shortly and hope to see you all then.

Disappointed about the cancelled Show... so in honor of all the good memories of past Shows... today I laid out my meager collection and am spending a little time looking at my blades. Not the same though......

 

Also treated myself to some incense, a tea sweet, and a bowl of matcha. Who knows, maybe I will sit down at my tea table and practice Chanoyu (tea ceremony).

 

Stay safe and healthy everyone. Looking forward to next year already!!!
