The History and Postal Expo
Come visit Owen Sound before the tourists arrive. The Owen Sound Stamp Club (OSSC) is inviting you to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
In honour of this anniversary, the OSSC is holding a History and Postal Expo on May 31st, 2025.
The event will be more than just a stamp show,
other local history groups will also be present. Grey Roots and some other Museums will be there; the historical society may also participate in the day.
It will be a great chance to see if a stamp collection has any valuable stamps in it.
Have you got a box of "old" letters you don't know what to do with? Drop on by and perhaps some space can be cleared up at home.
Please share this information with other Grey Bruce residents. Perhaps you know someone from further south who may find the day interesting.
Check back often as this page will be updated as more information becomes available.
