Now in the 54th year, the Chestertown Antiques Show & Sale is a high point of the Thanksgiving week-end in Chestertown. Once again the Show will feature past favorites and new dealers alike, with a great variety of specialties, all in town to support Kent Association of Riding Therapy (KART), a 501 c 3 non-profit dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding to special needs children and adults.
Back for the third year is nationally recognized art and antiques appraiser, Todd Peenstra. He will be available throughout the weekend to appraise items for Show attendees at $5 per item. As with past Shows, Mr. Peenstra donates all appraisal fees to KART. If an item is too large to bring to the show, a picture will be enough for an initial appraisal. For more information, please visit his website: www.peenstraappraisals.com.
This year, Sean Downey of Barn Life Primitives (AKA 13 beater street) in Galena, MD, is donating a sweetheart table to be used in a raffle with all proceeds benefitting KART. The winning ticket will be drawn 1pm, Sunday November 26th. Winner does need to be present to win, but the table must be picked-up by end of Show on Sunday – 3pm, or arrangements must be made with Mr. Downey.
Patrons will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets at the show; $10 per ticket or at Barn Life Primitives located on Main Street in Galena, MD. In addition, tickets may be purchased online. Please contact Mr. Downey by email 13beaterstreet@gmail.com OR visit his FB page www.facebook.com/Barnlife Primitives
