The Comet and the Tapestry

with Tom Broadhead

Tuesday, March 11, 7:00 p.m. Eastern via Zoom

Halley's Comet visited Earth in 1066 and its appearance is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry. In 1986 when it last flew by, several countries issued stamps and a couple of pictorial cancellations that showed that scene from the tapestry. In addition to the Norman conquest of Britain, there are other interesting Halley's comet stories, notably the birth and death of Mark Twain. It's due back in 2062 - stay tuned! Tom has been our most frequent presenter because his programs are always informative and enlightening.

The 74th Rocky Mountain Stamp Show is free and open to the public. The show will include a First Day of Issue ceremony for the new Baby Animal Stamps being put out by the USPS! This year we are expecting to fill the 400 available frames with world class exhibits from our convening societies and the participants in the AAPE-sponsored George Brett Cup Competition. Our bourse floor will accommodate 32 dealer booths and 13 society and activity booths. The 2025 show theme is ‘Scenic Colorado’. We will have our popular What’s in Your Attic? booth where visitors can learn about an inherited accumulation or rekindle their interest in a long-neglected collection. The CYPHER (Colorado Young Philatelic Explorers & Researchers) Stamp Club will have youth activities scheduled throughout the show, including a Stamp Collecting Merit Badge class for Scouts on Sunday May 25th at 10am. Societies attending the show include the Colorado Postal History Society, the American Airmail Society, and the Scandinavian Collectors Club. Our show wouldn’t be complete without the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library’s silent auction, a major fundraiser for this important volunteer-run philatelic community resource. We look forward to hosting the largest stamp show in our region. The official show hotel and site of the awards banquet is the DoubleTree by Hilton - Denver/Aurora, 13696 E Iliff Pl., Aurora, CO 80014. A free shuttle for hotel guests will provide transportation between the hotel and fairgrounds during show hours.
