Antiques & Collectibles Shows May 19-20, 2012

There are a couple of antiques and collectibles shows this weekend at great historical locations.  The first is the Gettysburg Antiques Show that will be held at Lincoln Square in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; the site of the historic Gettysburg Address.  The second show is the Armed Forces Day Toy Soldier Show, which is held in Newport News, Virginia.  Both shows are on Saturday, May 19, 2012 and both attract hundreds of vendors and visitors from around the country.  This is great entertainment for the whole family considering the history behind the locals and the significance of the shows.

Our personal favorite this weekend is the Lucketts Spring Antiques Show, which will be held on Saturday & Sunday, May 19-20, 2012 in the hamlet of Lucketts, Virginia, just north of Leesburg.  This antiques and collectibles show attracts visitors from around the country and features antique and shabby furniture and décor as well as vintage pottery, glass, lighting and functional antiques.  This is another show where the whole family is entertained as they provide live music, good eats and an overall party atmosphere.
