AmeriStamp Expo Deep in the Heart of Texas!

AmeriStamp Expo/ TEXPEX will be held February 20-22, 2009 at the Arlington Convention Center, 1200 Ballpark Way, Arlington, Texas 76011. The show venue is at the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex convention ― a 12-county region in the north-central section of the Lone Star State that is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the nation, with a population of well over 6 million. It will be the biggest and best stamp show in North Texas since 1984!
