Highland Antiques Show & Sale
What began four years ago as an attempt to showcase antiques and quality art is quickly becoming one of the premier antique shows. The show has grown each year with exhibitors from four states. Traditionally the exhibitors display furniture, jewelry, fine glass, linens, pottery, toys and books. The show's sponsors, Mike Finley and Lynn Rehberger, have been antique dealers throughout the Illinois and Missouri area. They were looking for an opportunity to host an antiques show but wanted to benefit a worthy cause. The result is the Highland Antiques Show and Sale benefitting the Highland Animal Shelter.
Show co-manager Mike Finley said, "Antiques and quality art are synonymous. People who collect antiques appreciate the value of fine art and vice versa. It's a perfect marriage." The antique show is held in conjunction with Art in the Park sponsored by the Highland Area Arts Council.
The show gives exhibitors the benefit of reaching a large audience in one location. An added incentive for the public is the chance to have an informal appraisal on an item with a paid admission.
