Locust Grove, last home of George Rogers Clark, has a summer antiques market this coming Sunday. It is a delightful outdoor market with a great mix of dealers.

The site of the antique show is also a great historic place to visit and if you go plan to spend some time touring the home of William Croghan where George Rogers Clark spend the last 9 years of his life. William Croghan was the brother-in-law of George Rogers Clark.

murfreesboroantiquescene.com The Murfreesboro Antique Show [link gone from the Internet] on July 18, 19 and 20 is always a nice regional show. After the show we usually go to either Miller's Grocery in Christiana, Tennessee or to the Bell Buckle Cafe in Bell Buckle Tennessee for dinner. These are small towns located just south of Murfreesboro. Bell Buckle is famous for is Moon Pie and RC Cola festival and the Webb School Art and Craft Festival.

Thanks June. That was one show we love to go to not only for show, but for the interesting and fun things to do in the area.
We missed this year as my wife just got a new knee. She it doing fine and is really ready to get on the antique trail again, but I think for a month or two we may be staying close to home. She is already walking better than she did before the operation.

Hi all,

If you are planning to stay overnight when you come to the Baltimore show, you will find less expensive hotel rooms around the Baltimore Washington Airport area. I use one of the online bidding sites to get my room, and they generally run half of what the hotels in downtown Baltimore cost. Driving distance to the show is 13 miles on the BW parkway.

Also, bring your walking shoes.. The floor is concrete, and there will be more dealers set up there than ever. More dealers means that there will be about 140 dealers that just have silver, and another 300 that will have some silver. That leaves about 200 dealers that do not carry our favorite metal, but we will visit them also.

For cheap eats, there is a food plaza in the building across Pratt Street, that has Chinese food and fast food hamburgers. For a Baltimore flavor, the Inner Harbor is 2 blocks away. They have lots of local specialties including crab cakes (yum).

I would hope that someone who knows the city better can recommend other places that are within walking distance... and safe..

Hi, Marc. You mean to say that the Baltimore Show promoters have finally given up the white carpetting? Good move.

Hi June,

Nope.. the thin white carpeting will be there as usual, and while it provides some comfort, 4 days standing or walking around on it takes a toll. Most of us are there for 6 full days, performing, and hoping that our loved ones at home will remember what we look like.

For the public, there are chairs in several places so you may sit and rest. If you need something packed and shipped because the airlines won't let you fly with it, that service is offered at the show.

One good thing about the Baltimore show is that all the dealers are on one level. The show is air conditioned and with a building that big, it may be a little warm or a little cool. Come prepared.

One of the best things about this show is that with the price of silver being way up, more killer merchandise is coming out of the woodwork and it will be at this show.

A fun time should be had by all!

Marc

Hey, Jersey, thanks for reminding us about the Wiener Werkstadte jewelry show. I took your advice and went, and was glad I did.
