MADISON-BOUCKVILLE NEW YORK

Madison - Bouckville


WHERE EVER YOU GO IT SEEMS THE STARTING POINT IS THE LINE.
THE LINE IS LONG AND MOVES SLOW.




ONLY A FEW OTHERS WERE WAITING.


IDYLLIC COUNTRYSIDE


EARLY SHOPPERS, WHILE PLENTIFUL, WERE, FOR THE MOST PART, JUST SHOPPERS



WITH 1000 SPACES OCCUPIED BY 700 DEALERS, SOME VARIETY WAS INEVITABLE. OVERALL THE SHOW TILTED TO OAK AND COUNTRY FURNITURE WITH THE USUAL ASSORTMENT OF GLASS, CERAMICS,  JEWELRY, A SMATTERING OF EUROPEAN, AND DECORATOR ITEMS TUCKED IN HERE AND THERE.


AS YET UNTAPPED


THERE WAS ROOM AT THE TABLE FOR YOU


NEW YORK "LEGS" WERE FASHIONABLE



ROOM WAS LEFT ON THE WAGON FOR ADDITIONAL PURCHASES


SOME BUYERS WERE ABSENT



ONCE EARLY BUYING WAS OVER THE GATES WERE OPEN TO HUGE CROWDS OF CURIOSITY SEEKERS.


SOME WERE EAGER



SOME WERE CONFUSED



OTHERS WERE JUST LOOKING



GOOD HELP WAS AVAILABLE







MOST OFTEN, AS DEALERS, WE WISH FOR AT LEAST A GOOD CROWD.  HOPING THAT SHEER NUMBERS WILL PRODUCE SALES.


WE HAD YOUNG SHOPPERS

SAVOY SHOPPER WITH WALKIE-TALKIE

HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES



EXPERIENCED FOLKS



THOSE THAT CONSULTED ON POSSIBLE PURCHASE



THE MOST INTERESTED WERE THE LEAST CURIOUS
THE REST WERE, SHALL WE SAY,
"CURIOUS BUT NOT INTERESTED"


"WHAT IS IT?"

WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS

"WHAT WAS IT USED FOR?"

 WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS
"DOES IT WORK?"

WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS
WE LISTENED AND REPLIED "WHO?.... WHEN?..... WHERE?"

RON HARING'S VICTROLA'S






THESE ARE QUESTIONS WE ALL GRAPPLE WITH UNTIL WE REALIZE-
I AM.... NOW..... HERE.




THIS WILL COMFORT AND PROVIDE SANCTUARY.

ASW



"NOW I UNDERSTAND WHEN IT SAYS 1000 DEALERS"





IN ONE VAN?



AND THE RAIN CAME AND WASHED IT ALL AWAY

Mobile Iphone Wandering

Madison-Bouckville,NY
1000 Dealers!
It's 1:40pm and at 1:00pm dealers started to slowly move through the "line" where check in occurs. It will probably take us until 2:00 to get to our spot. Spotty rain, humid, and warm.

Lunch Menu

Traveling today in New York..... preparing for setup at Madison-Bouckville.  That's when we found this mobile lunch truck.  The fare offered was simple..... tomatoes, cucumbers, zuchini, and yellow squash. We chose tomatoes and cucumbers for lunch.... fresh and tasty!

RETURN TO EDEN


FAIRGROUNDS VIEW OF LITTLE TRAVERSE BAY

THE "STAGE"
DISPLAY BY WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS


WE ARE MORE THAN JUST SALES PEOPLE WE ARE PERFORMERS
AND, WHILE WE DON'T WEAR COSTUMES PER SE, WE DO DRESS FOR THE OCCASION.


JOSEPH RUMFORD ANTIQUES

I IMMENSELY ENJOY PETOSKEY AND THIS SHOW.
PETOSKEY  BECAUSE  THE LOCAL AREA IS INCREDIBLY PLEASANT.
THE SHOW ANTIQUES AT THE FAIRGROUNDS BECAUSE IT HAS
1) PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY MANAGEMENT
2) OUTSTANDING FACILITY
3) ATMOSPHERE THAT IS LAID BACK
4) MIX OF MERCHANDISE THAT IS DIVERSE






THE WEATHER COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER.
THE SHOW WAS WELL ATTENDED







REINVENT, REAPPLY, REINVIGORATE!



SUMMER WAS STILL IN FASHION


JANET AND COMPANY.



JODIE & MICHAEL ROBERTS WICKER ANTIQUES


AND, BY "DIVERSE" I DON'T JUST MEAN  JEWELRY, FINE CHINA, ART, GLASS, POTTERY, AND FURNITURE DEALERS. 
AT THIS SHOW ONE COULD ALSO CHOOSE FROM A NUMBER OF RESTORED OR AS FOUND VINTAGE BOATS AND MOTORS, A 1956 MINT THUNDERBIRD,  AND OTHER ODDITIES.


B.J.PAWLACZYK BOATS & MOTORS




WE ALWAYS PROMOTE ...RETHINK, REINVENT,AND REIMAGINE....
BUT,THERE ARE LIMITS......


"HAROLD, IF YOU DON'T STOP STARING AT HER ASS I'M GOING TO SLAP YOU SILLY!"



"CENTER" TO RE-PURPOSE
