ANNUAL ST. GEORGE ANTIQUE SHOW

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE ANNUAL ST. GEORGE ANTIQUE SHOW

Saturday, September 1 and Sunday, September 2, 2012

Where:

South Dumfries Community Centre (Arena)
Gaukel Drive
St. George, Ontario
N0E 1N0

Price:$5.00 admission

Saturday 10 am to 5 pm; Sunday 11 am to 5 pm.

The Show is back again this year, in the new and improved St. George arena. Selected quality dealers will present a range of antiques to browse and to buy. Also, delicious home-style meals and desserts.

Free parking. $5.00 admission - the major fundraiser of the South Dumfries Historical Society.

Visit our downtown while you are in town for our new coffeehouses (the Brown Dog and the Rustic Mug), our upscale Italian restaurant (La Cantinella), our trusty English Pub (the St George Arms), and three pizzarias to choose from.

Saturday night (1st Saturday each month) there is a fish fry at the St. George Legion which is very popular. Or grab an Ice Cream cone next to the Rustic Mug or at Monk's Chip Wagon next to the Bank of Montreal parking lot.

If you need to stock up on snacks and drinks for the road, visit our friends at St. George Foodland.

Visit the Museum Saturday afternoon while you are downtown, and browse our antique shops on the historic Main Street.

Consider a side trip to one of the Apple farms nearby or to Robert Hall Originals - an amazing store just west of the downtown for "rockhounds" and for unique pewter creations.

On Sunday afternoon, visit our friends at the Adelaide Hoodless Homestead from 2 - 4 pm - a National Historic Site honouring the birthplace of the founder of the Women's Institute movement (among her many accomplishments).

This is also the weekend of the Paris Fair!
