Americover 2007 Will "Celebrate" New Stamp
AFDCS TO "CELEBRATE" DEBUT OF NEW STAMP AT AMERICOVER 2007
The American First Day Cover Society and the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the debut of the new Celebrate! stamp at Americover 2007, which will be held in Stamford, Conn., August 17-19. The new stamp, replacing the "Happy Birthday" one, will be released on Friday of the show, which has been described as one big party. "If there is any group that knows how to celebrate, it is the American First Day Cover Society," said Foster E. Miller III, programs and seminar chairman of Americover 2007, who is also the Society's liaison with the USPS. "The USPS knows this too; they were the ones who offered "Celebrate!" to me. I quickly accepted." The new stamp, special postmarks, and unserviced cacheted envelopes will be available. In addition, this year's Legends of Hollywood stamp, James Stewart, is tentatively set for an August 17th release in Burbank, Calif. If so, with the new nationwide release policy, the Stewart stamp should be offered for sale (and postmarking) at Americover 2007 in Stamford. The following evening, the public will have an opportunity to see and purchase a wide range of cacheted FDCs celebrating the new Celebrate! and possibly James Stewart stamps. Americover 2007, a three-day World Series of Philately show will be held at the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa, and will feature a large mostly-FDC bourse, cachetmakers bourse, top exhibits, a banquet, meetings, seminars, youth booth, pre-show area tour and post-show dinner event. To obtain the special $99 Americover room rate, call the Marriott reservation line at 888-236-2427 or the hotel directly at 203-357-9555, and specify "Americover."
