Long Beach Stamp Club Kids Korner (Booth 453)
Saturday from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
In 1985, the Long Beach Stamp Club established a program for encouraging kids to become interested in stamp collecting as a hobby. Over the years, this program has grown so big that we now give away prizes consisting of stamp albums with stamps from around the world. We have a "stamp drawer" which allows KIDS from 6-17 years old to look through and pick out stamps for free. Everyone who stops by our booth and registers for the Grand Prize Drawing leaves with a stamp book with two countries and a profile of each country.
