White River Valley Antique Show...

After last year's Antique Show was completely rained out, the weather could not have been more perfect this year for the 35th edition of the White River Valley Antique Show. There are carpentry and milling displays, antique tractors, steam engines, old post office and printing shops, horses and farm animals, lots of white elephant/thrift store items, and many other interesting exhibits. 

Candace and the kiddos took Mom to this fantastic display of all-things-antiques on Friday, 6th September. I last went two years ago and last blogged about this event five years ago, but was unable to attend this year's event due to work. I am glad that my Mom was able to experience one of the major annual events in the area.

Many people even come from far and wide - and much closer  - to camp at the event and enjoy the weekend's festivities. These photos were snapped by Candace and my Mom and I'm sure they won't mind me using them here. :)
