The Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club is committed to hold the Chicago Pipe Show on May 2 & 3, 2020. We continue to work with Pheasant Run regarding the Show and our contracts with Pheasant Run for the next 4 years. We are also considering other venues in the area in the event Pheasant Run is not available. There will be a Chicago Pipe Show in 2020, We will update any changes in location of the 2020 Show.

The Chicago Pipe Show is typically on Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend of May. Historically, we have other events from Wednesday through Friday. We will post a schedule when we have the details ironed out.

Thank you for the update John.
Being in the Chicago burbs, I have seen the news about PR.

Do people take estates or unsmoked estates in for trading or sales ?

That's a strange story indeed. Will it be closed and reopened? Will it run light in intervening months? Will it be like a ghost town when all get there? |

I have been reviewing the comments on the various pipe forums. I like what someone said,
*** To have an organized event of ANY kind involving tobacco in 21st century America is amazing, never mind a world-class one... and to have a small army of long-suffering, tireless enthusiasts who are willing to go through the logistical hell of organizing it is more amazing still. ***
Based off discussions with Management, the 2020 Chicago Pipe Show will be at Pheasant Run. We are also looking for other locations for the future, depending on the status of Pheasant Run. The two biggest criteria are a room that can handle all the vendors and customers that we usually have at the pipe show, and a smoking tent. We are also going to consider other criteria, like restaurants, rooms, distance, etc.
Also, the activities in the smoking tent should be very similar to former years. If we did it in the past, we are likely to do it again.

Show Update 1.25.2020
At the present time, we are still contractually obligated to Pheasant Run until the new owners are established and we hear from them on their desire to host the show. Until such a time, we cannot confirm plans for an alternate venue.
In the meantime, we have bids from at least 2 other venues for the show. There will be a show the first weekend of May.
Please book your airfare. Once matters are settled with Pheasant Run, we will advise which hotel to make your reservations. We will provide details ASAP.

I have decided to go, but I am holding off until I see if Jim will be able to go. If he goes, I will be there.
