Sunday, October 21st will mark the 22nd year for the California Country Antique American Country & Folk Art Show. This show, rated by Country Home Magazine as the #7 Great Outdoor Show in America, is a twice-yearly event that has the atmosphere of old friends getting together to spend the day enjoying their common interests in country antiques and folk art. The Los Altos History Museum has sponsored the show since its inception. A portion of the proceeds benefits the museum. This is always an exceptional show with over 50 superb antique dealers from across the USA and Canada selling the finest classic & new country style antiques available anywhere. Country to formal furniture, folk art, quilts, hooked rugs, samplers, lighting, woodenware, baskets, stoneware, architectural and garden elements, camp and cottage, toys, holiday items, lots of old original paint and much, much more! Items will be priced to meet everyone’s budget. The show will be held inside and out at the warm and cozy confines of the Hillview Community Center at 97 Hillview Avenue in Los Altos, CA.
The show will start at 10 am and run to 4 pm. Admission to the show is $9.00 ($6.00 after 11am) and show goers will be able to visit the adjacent History Museum at no extra charge. The traditional $100.00 shopping spree drawing will be held at 2 pm on the luncheon lawn. Also on the History Museum patio, right next door, artisans will demonstrate making early American decorative arts and their completed works of art will be available for purchase.
With the addition of old-fashioned barbecued and picnic-style foods, including homemade apple pie, available for purchase and live country folk music makes this a “must” event for antique lovers from the San Francisco Bay area and all over the nation.
The show is conveniently located between highways 280 and 101 in Los Altos. For fly-ins, both the San Jose International and San Francisco International Airports are only about 20 minutes away.
So remember the date, the time, and the place for the California Country Spring Antiques Show and Sale, the premiere “all country” show on the West Coast - Sunday, October 21st from 10 am to 4 pm at the Hillview Community Center adjacent to the History Museum in Los Altos, CA. Be sure to look for the Antiques Show signs directing the way.
