Elverson Show Scheduled For Oct. 29 And 30 Twin Valley High School Hosts Quality Show The fall edition of the popular Elverson Antiques Show will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 29 and 30, at the Twin Valley High School, located in Elverson, Chester County, Pa. The show is held twice a year, in the spring and fall. Customers can once again enjoy shopping at one of the longest-running antique shows in Chester County. Initially a fundraiser for the Elverson Fire Company, the show has undergone a few changes since beginning in 1969. When the fire company moved to a new location, so did the show. It is now held in the Twin Valley High School, which is only two miles
from the old location and a short drive from the Morgantown exit off the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Route 76). The show benefits the school’s girls and boys lacrosse teams, whose members and parents work with the show committee to provide porters and food during the show. Primarily a country show, 41 dealers come from eight states to display their wares. Most of the dealers are from Pennsylvania, with items that are fresh to the market, found at local country auctions or from longtime collections. Bluedecorated stoneware, redware, folk art, butter prints, wooden ware, early iron, lighting, quilts, samplers,
holiday decorations, furniture and china are available in a range of prices for beginning or advanced collectors. Quality items are always available at this dealer-friendly show. The show hours will be from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. The school is located at 4897 North Twin Valley Road, Elverson, Pa. For further information, call Gene Bertolet at 707-310-4488 or visit www.elversonantiqueshow.com.
