JUNE'S FESTIVAL OF ANTIQUES
Mullica Hill, NJ - This years show featured many of previous year’s Americana dealers, as well as many new faces including Tex Johnson & Son Antiques of Adamstown, PA, Stephen-Douglas Antiques of Rockingham, VT, Dordy Fontinel of Nellysford, VA, Nadine Pechmann of Mendham, NJ, Emmajean’s General Store of Silver Spring, MD, Doug and Cindy Robinson of Lower Gwynedd, PA, Lovrinic Antiques of Lambertville, NJ, William Grotheer of Huntington, NY, Sandbrook Antiques of Flemington, NJ and David Dallas trading under the name of Treasures of the Tribes, Oriental Rugs, Paoli, PA.
A few of the dealers returning from previous years shows included George Allen and Gordon Wycoff of Raccoon Creek Antiques, Oley, PA, Robb Stevens of Boggs Boynton Antiques, Clarksboro, NJ, Olde Country Antiques, Hightstown, NJ, Elizabeth Ayscough Antiques, Chadds Ford, PA, Todd Kibler of Country Antiques Two, Mullica Hill, NJ, Linda Grier Antiques, Langhorn, PA, Pat and Merry Tobin, Stevensville, MD, Susan Goldsweig of Yonkers, NY, and Randy Ona of Wayne, NJ.
The reports during and after the show indicted that there was strong buying across the board with an emphasis on smalls. That said, there were many more vehicles seen entering the grounds picking up larger items than seen in previous shows. Although there were many purchases of stoneware, jewelry, samplers, woodenware, baskets, textiles and the like, there were many larger items including furniture, an early tall case clock, a large corn crib, a pair of market wagons, and industrial design forms and work benches.
Over 1200 attendees walked the fairgrounds taking in the vast array of quality antiques, enjoyed a barbeque lunch served by the local Amish Market, and watched the horse show which takes place in the area adjacent to the antique show. This combination of activities makes The June Festival one of the most popular shows in the area. The transformation of the venue for the few hours once a year is something that has to be seen. And since it is only once a year, the buyers are geared-up and ready to spend.
Despite the fact that a 3:00 p.m. thunderstorm rolled through and cut the show an hour short (and made for a soggy pack-out), the weather was otherwise good. Dealers and attendees were very positive and are already looking forward to next years show.
The June Festival of Antiques is held the second Saturday in June every year and is sponsored and promoted by The Yellow Garage Antiques of 66 S. Main St. in Mullica Hill and benefits the Harrison Township Historical Society. For more information, visit www.yellowgarageantiques.com
