Leadhead's Tread: 2012 Raleigh Pen Show

I asked Terry Mawhorter if the weather is always this nice in Raleigh or if they just turned it on because there's a pen show in town.  He says it's always that nice, and I suppose that's the more likely explanation.

Terry runs two shows, the Ohio Show in November and this one.  He's been asking me about coming to Raleigh for a couple of years now, but this is the first time my schedule worked out such that I was able to go.  This year was also the first that Terry had help running the show from Jim Rouse.  I asked Jim if he could stop doing the "chicken dance" for a minute so I could get his picture . . .

NOTE:  This article is now included in the print version of The Leadhead's Pencil Blog, available anywhere you buy books, or also from The Legendary Lead Company.

    As a 3 year attendee (out of the past 4), I will certainly be back. I am not a big pencil hound, but I really enjoyed the services I got from Ron Zorn, Richard Binder, and Pendleton Brown. I also enjoyed the purchases I made from several merchants including the Andersons. It's a great show with room for more people (dare I ever dream Brian Gray?). I hope to make it to the DC show this year to take in its enormity, but I have a feeling Raleigh will remain first in my heart.
