Melvin L. Arion, show promoter, does an outstanding job of assembling top-notch participants while keeping the variety as broad as possible to ensure that nearly anyone can find a “new” treasure. In addition, all major credit cards are accepted, making buying as convenient as possible.
Admission will be $10/person, or $9 with this article, an ad, or show card.
The hours both Friday and Saturday will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is free. The building is smoke-free and air-conditioned. In addition, food will be available.
This show has an outstanding reputation, and there is little dealer turnover, remarkable especially considering the number of participants. For the fall edition of the York Show, there will be five new exhibitors, including, Antiques by the Falls of Painesville, Ohio; Hannah Humes of Westerville Run, Ohio; Rush Antiques of Rochester, Mich.; Taylor Thistlethwaite of Glasgow, Ky.; and Don and Betty Jo Heim from Jersey Shore, Pa.
Because of the outstanding overall quality of merchandise offered, the York Show is considered one of the premier antiquing events in the Mid-Atlantic region. It is also one of the oldest shows in the country.
