The
Tradition Continues
Williamsburg Thanksgiving Holiday
Antiques Show and Sale
November 26-28
Williamsburg,
Va.- The tradition will continue for the 29th year at the Marriott Kings Mill Hotel with Holiday Antiques Show’s
Thanksgiving event. Founded in 1981 by Bettianne Sweeney and her friend Ann Trevarthen the annual affair has provided local
residents and Thanksgiving visitors an alternative to shopping at malls and department stores for the busiest shopping weekend
of the year.
Local residents have been waiting to acquire the best from the thirty-five assembled dealers
of furniture, rugs and decorative items, all with the assurance that their purchases are valuable antiques. Visitors
come in looking for Christmas and Holiday gift
shopping and to add to their collections.
The day after Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Christmas season and you are invited to join in the
holiday festivities. While visiting you may want to tour Colonial Williamsburg, visit the Dewitt Wallace
Decorative Arts Museum and shop in the boutique shops along the Duke of Gloucester Street.
Thirty-five dealers who
represent thirteen states and the United Kingdom will show period and country furniture and accessories, excellent old lighting,
prints and paintings, fine ceramics, high quality glass, estate jewelry and antique silver.
