The Oregon Woman’s Club is proud to announce their 62nd annual antique show. Many changes have taken place during the past sixty+ years transforming a small antique and hobby show into one of the premier shows of Northern Illinois. At the age of early retirement (for people, that is) the show is looking forward to many years of presenting the best event possible for our dealers and antique collectors.

The Oregon Woman’s Club, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, sponsors this show as a major fund raising event and uses the proceeds to help fund various community projects and charities.
This year the show will again be held at the Blackhawk Center Sports Arena, located on the Oregon public school campus. The facility offers ample parking, handicap accessibility and a huge area for 50 Midwest antique dealers to display their merchandise for sale. Quality antiques will range from the early 1800′s through the retro era of the 1950′s including all areas of collecting – furniture, glass, china, pottery, toys, textiles, jewelry, dolls, silver, decorator items and more. You will be amazed at the selection available. There will be items for all collecting tastes and budgets.

The snack bar sponsored by the Oregon, IL, Kiwanis Club will be brimming with “home-made” sandwiches, soups, desserts and beverages. Mary Lou’s Crystal Repair from Joliet, IL, will be on hand both days to repair your damaged heirlooms “while you wait”. On Sunday, Munda & Associates, Auctioneers & Appraisers, Freeport, IL, will offer verbal appraisals of your small treasures for $5 per item. Please supply photos of large items. If a writtten appraisal is needed, discuss details with Munda & Associates.

Show times are Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission donation is $5 per person, which is good for both days of the show. Door prize drawing every hour and grand prize drawing at end of the show.

Location is the Blackhawk Center, 10th Street at Jefferson Street, one block south of Rt 64 (Washington Street), Oregon, IL. Watch for directional signage.
