Today is two days in one: Fountain Pen Day 2016 and ‘World Champion Chicago Cubs Day’ for November 4, 2016! The Cubs will be celebrating with a parade this morning!
Happy Friday! It is already a year since covering Fountain Pen Day 2015!
Fountain Pen Day takes place “on the first Friday in November each year, Fountain Pen Day is celebrated by enthusiasts worldwide as a time to embrace, promote, and share the use of fountain pens.”
There is a countdown watch about to show less than one day over at the official website for Fountain Pen Day.
I’ve gone over to their eBay store to order Fountain Pen Day T-shirt L ~ w/ LA Pen Show extras. Other offerings include Fountain Pen Day logo embroidered hat & swag.

Thank you for joining me today for Fountain Pen Day 2016! And, if you live in the Chicago area enjoy the parade!
Here’s to having fun with old-style correspondence today and every day!
