Last year at the beginning of the "Promise of Spring" Show, the two hundred plus crowd already in line, after the doors opened at 8:00am, counted down the last minutes before the show opened. It was very exciting to listen to everyone count down ' Ten, nine, eight..........then they rushed the hallway like they were entering a rock concert. Some of them actually arrive at the show two hours ahead of time, trying to position themeselves as close to the head of the line as possible. The first several patrons recieve complimentary chairs, coffee and a danish. They also recieve their fifiteen minutes of fame, with their photos taken and published on the website. It has been a long eight months since the last "Promise of Spring" show. Our staff is excited to meet you and would be glad to answer any of your questions or guide you through the show from the entrance to the cafeteria. We always have a concession area facilitated by Pam's Catering's "Country Cookin". Pam offers mile high coconut & banana Creme Pie and barbeque & chicken salad sandwiches with homemade soup. There are more choices, too numorous to mention. Along with our regular dealers that you have been traveling hundreds of miles to see every year, we have some new dealers from Michigan & Ohio. Jon Crandell will feature his antique decoys. Laura Nickerson will be bringing a selection of primitives, including cupboards and many smalls. New to our show, folk artist Nicole Ward and returning Folk artist Deb Johnson will be injecting the Christmas theme into their individual booths. Returning dealer Ann Futey (booth pictured at top of this home page)from Toledo Ohio will be in a different location, but you will no doubt recognize the  quality she brings to our show, with her antiques in a booth very close to the eating area in the cafeteria. Doug and I are very excited about this year's "Homespun Holidays" show. We hope that if you are able to attend the show on Saturday, that you have a wonderful time and if you have time, introduce yourself to us while to are with us. We will be available at any time, just ask one of our staff to find us. We would love to meet you and thank you for helping to make the show another success. Just 59 hours to GO!
