(Denver, Colorado). This past weekend the American Political Items Collectors (APIC) held its National Convention in Denver Colorado. The convention was well attended and the comments heard round the convention floor was that this year's convention was one of the best ever. Kudos go out to Ron Puechner (and of course his lovely wife Martha) along with dozens of dedicated volunteers who made this convention an outstanding success. One of the highlights of the bourse was the number of dealers from around the country who went out of their way to provide free vintage campaign buttons to youngsters who attended the convention. What a great way of promoting our great hobby to the younger generation. DenverNationalHandout (1)
