Chenango Historical Society gears up for annual antiques show
NORWICH – Members and volunteers of the Chenango County Historical Society are busy setting the stage for the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, the 37th annual Historical Society Antiques Show, which is set to take to the county fairgrounds this weekend.
From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, more than 45 antique vendors from all around the area will flock to the fairgrounds to sell all things rustic - from home goods and basic appliances, to tools and farm equipment, books, furniture, art, and everything in between. The one-day-only event is a chance for avid collectors to find a valuable piece to add to their growing collection or a special keepsake just to remind them of a simpler era, say organizers.
Admission into the event is $4 per person and as always, parking is free. All proceeds will benefit the Chenango County Historical Society in its mission to lead and support the advancement of research, education, and enjoyment of Chenango County’s history and historically significant assets.
“This is an event that takes us months to plan and about three days to set up,” said Chenango Historical Society Treasurer Howard Fogel, adding the event will take place rain or shine. “It’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Historical Society, so there is a lot of work that goes into it.”
Along with all things old and rustic, the show includes various foods from vendors from all over the area. Treasure hunters will have the chance to sample foods from Ozzie’s Barbecue, including its barbecue chicken, biscuits and pork. In addition, there will be ice cream to satisfy the sweet tooth, courtesy of Gilligan’s Restaurant in Sherburne; and assorted baked goods cooked up by Historical Society volunteers.
This year also features a number of noteworthy exhibits. “We will be including works from our Folk Art fair held last year,” explained Chenango Historical Society Curator Meghan Molloy. “There will also be a few new pieces to add to that exhibit.”
Moreover, the show will shine the spotlight on special exhibits from the Northeast Classic Car Museum (weather permitting) and the Historical Society’s “Lilly” boat, a 19th century canal boat replica.
Each year, the annual antiques show draws a crowd of more than 1,000 people from all corners of the county during Labor Day weekend. The event - sponsored by Frontier Communications, NBT Bank, The Evening Sun, and Pennysaver - is a long-lived tradition that’s not only significant to the Historical Society, but countless buyers and venders as well, said Fogel.
“We have several longstanding dealers who have been doing this for as many as 30 years,” he added. “It’s a well-attended show and most people who attend are there to buy.”
The antiques show is made possible with additional help from Historical Society volunteers Clay Welch, John Antonowicz, Jim Hickling, Diana Hickling, and Warren Nash.
