A Different Twist on Marketing

In February, we participated at the Designer Craftsman Show and Historic Home Show in Philadelphia. While there, we met another exhibitor from Vermont, Connor Homes, who told us about an interesting show they did last year and suggested we apply for admission. It turns out it was an antique show, and the promoter had established an area called "New Traditions". Based on our interests in antiques and our background in that field, this was an interesting opportunity. A show promoter, whom we have worked with in the past from lower Connecticut, was attempting to incorporate antiques and reproductions in one show, but to date has not been successful. The show in Maine is the 30th Annual Maine Antiques Festival, August 12-14, in Union, Maine. If you are in the area on those dates, please stop in and say hello! We will be focusing on 18th century and Shaker Chairs at the show.
