Just a idea....
Maybe it could be like the Daytona 500... the winners of the birthday bash pen contest would have to loan the winning pen to the museum for one year.
That way, people could see first hand what the winning pens look like up close.
Hi Bob! Thanks for your interest. There really is no "Museum," at least yet!
The IAP Collection is a physical collection that is intended to be displayed at various IAP/Penturning Events.
For 2015: Initial Display at the MPG (Champaign, IL); 2'nd display at the MAPG (Richmond, VA). After that, we hope to visit, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio Chapters. In 2016, maybe the collection can travel further away!
As of today, The collection consists of 25-35 initial pens, and others being added through contests, displays, donations, etc... In 4-5 years, it should get to be a collection of 50-70 pens, that gatherings can choose which 20-30 they wish to see. So...It is a project in progress!
Best Regards, Mark
