33rd annual Labor Day Antique Show coming to the fairgrounds Sunday
NORWICH – Treasure hunters will be drawn to the historical trove on display at the Norwich fairgrounds this Sunday, as the Chenango County Historical Society holds its 33rd annual Antiques Show.
The show is one of the largest annual fundraisers for the historical society.
“We have over 60 antique dealers coming to the show this weekend. That’s quite a bit more than we’ve had in prior years,” said Historical Society Antiques Show committee member Howard Fogel.
Antique dealers and food vendors will begin setting up their displays inside the Floral and Exhibition Halls and beneath tents in the early hours in preparation for the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. event.
“It may not be the largest, but we certainly do our best to ensure it’s of quality. It’s not a flea market or an old junk sale,” said Fogel, explaining that some of the vendors travel hundreds of miles to exhibit at the show.
“There will be a number of quality dealers there selling, and most likely some even buying,” added committee member Tracy Law.
The committee members also said that the Oxford and Guilford historical societies had accepted an invitation to attend this year’s event.
There will also be a number of food selections at the fairgrounds, including ice cream from Gilligan’s Island of Sherburne and a bake sale, with profits from each being donated to the historical society.
Committee member Thomas Knapp said on average between 1,400 and 1,500 traditionally attend the show. “It could be up to 1,700 on a good weather day or 1,300 on a bad day. But rain or shine, the show will go on,” he said.
Linda Green, president of the Historical Society’s Board of Directors, said the committee has been planning for the event for the last eight months.
“It’s certainly a major fundraiser that people look forward to every year and the committee has worked hard in making sure it’s of quality,” she said.
