The 51st Annual Antique Show will be held at Austin Pavilion on July 9 & 10 (Friday and Saturday) from 10 am until 5 pm. Early admission is from 9am – 10 am on Friday, July 9th. The show features over 70 quality antique dealers, a free craft show of over 25 artisans, a food tent featuring Doug’s Fish Fry and homemade baked goods including pies as well as an antiques’ appraiser and glass grinder. For more information visit the show’s website at www.SkanAntiqueShow.com.
The annual event started 51 years ago with only 17 antique dealers and over the years has grown to 70+ dealers. Artisan booths have also been added to the venue. The first antique shows were held in the First United Methodist Church. Due to the success and growth of the event, it eventually outgrew the space provided at the church and was moved to the current location at Austin Pavilion in the 1980s. The artisan and craft booths are free and maintained on the grassy knoll in front of the Austin Pavilion. There will also be several free displays.
Original traditions began with women of the church preparing and serving two full course dinners as well as operating a snack bar. The concept of meals has carried on with slight modifications. This year’s show will feature a varied menu provided by Doug’s Fish Fry (and Doug, the “flounder” will be there too) as well as the traditional pie tent that features homemade pies and other desserts provided by church members. During the 1970s hostesses dressed in old fashion attire, and demonstrations of floral decorations, area paintings, and historical exhibits were displayed. Many of these traditions persist.
The show continues to draw visitors because of the quality and number of dealers. Visitors can expect 70+ antique dealers, early American decorative painting, demonstrations, antique appraisers, quality artisans, food, beverages, and a great time.
