Following a five year absence and an eleven million dollar renovation project, Antiques are back to The Fairgrounds in Emmet County, Petoskey, MI. After being contacted by the Event Coordinator of the Fairgrounds, promoters Dave and Lana Fraser are pleased to announce the return of two high-quality Antique Shows in 2009. They will be held on two of the busiest weekends in the highly affluent and popular resort city of Petoskey. The dates for 2009 will be July 4 & 5, and also August 1 & 2. Over 100 dealers from around the country will be returning and exhibiting a huge array of antique merchandise from the smallest collectibles such as estate jewelry, to a wide range of antique furniture and everything in between: pottery, china, textiles, prints, etc.
The renovations include a new air conditioned Community Center which will contain over 35 dealers, a fully-functional concession kitchen, and state-of-the-art restrooms. Another new building is the T Barn, with concrete floors and separate restrooms. This non-air conditioned building will accommodate another 35+ dealers. There are also two horse or animal stall barns which will be brimming full of treasures for customers to find.				Uniform tents will also be set up strategically in grassy spaces. Over 900 paved and striped parking spaces are situated right in front of the Community Building. In addition to all poster, newspaper, flyers, and stick sign advertising that will take place, the grounds are erecting a large electronic billboard which will advertise our shows well in advance of the dates. Please plan on joining with us during these two fabulous weekends, whether you are a customer or a dealer. Contact us at (231) 322-4422.  Yours in Antiques,  Lana And Dave Fraser
