SESCAL 2020 (Stamp Exhibition of Southern California)
The 76th Annual Stamp Exhibition of Southern California
2- 4 October 2020 – Cancelled 8/18/2020
Had the COVID-10 virus not closed this show, the ISJP would have had a booth at SESCAL 2020. In the SESCAL General Chairmans own words, “We reviewed the St. Louis show, the situation in California, the pros and cons of holding a show, and discussed alternatives such as a local bourse. It is with regret that we decided to cancel SESCAL 2020 except for the Literature Exhibit and work toward and even better SESCAL 2021.”
New to the SESCAL is a Literature Exhibit of articles. Japanese Philately authors were invited to participate and several did participate. You can find their articles at https://sescal.org/literature-exhibit/ The full Palmares is at this same site.
