Third June Festival of Antiques a Success

          The third edition of the annual June Festival of Antiques proved to be the best show to date. In terms of the look of the show, the size of the gate, the number and quality of the dealers and the amount of buying, the one day, June 16^th show proved to be a winner. “This year’s event had excellent merchandise which made for a great show” stated promoter Steve Lipman. “The dealers were pleased with the turnout of over 1500 people. Within an hour of the show’s open, the fairgrounds were fully inundated with shoppers. Large and small items were selling and the energy was very positive. The afternoon downpour cut the show short, but amazingly there were no complaints. A lot of dealers have already requested space for next year.”

          The Mullica Hill, New Jersey show had the same format as previous years. There were 55 dealers set-up under pavilion roofs, and another 50 on the lawn spaces between the buildings. Show goers and dealers alike remarked how the show was “like the old days” with a good-time feeling and plenty of great merchandise to shop.

          Dealers from 10 states from as far away as North and South Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and New York were at this years show. Doug and Diane McIlwayne from Goldsboro, North Carolina sold well and indicated they would be back. Likewise Gary Promey of Atwater, Ohio who sold artwork, hook rugs and an Enterprise coffee mill among other items. New Oxford, Pennsylvania dealers Sandy Hart and Daryl Reilly and Bill Jenks were first time festival dealers and said that they’d be back for 2010. Oley, Pennsylvania dealers George Allen and Gordon Wyckoff of Raccoon Creek Antiques requested a bigger booth for next year’s show. Carol and George Meekins of Country Treasures, Preston, Maryland held down a prominent corner booth filled with original painted country furniture, pantry boxes, firkins, and decorated stoneware for the third straight year. Another veteran Maryland dealer, Joan Datesman of Annapolis brought her specialty of Quimper and early garden furniture and accessories.

          Local Southern New Jersey dealers, many from the Yellow Garage Antiques (who promotes the show), were in attendance. Todd Kibler reported excellent sales including a dry sink, several stoneware crocks, and some country store advertising. Hugh Allan Luck was set-up in Pavilion 3 and doubled as show photographer. Hugh had an outstanding booth displaying fine art, furniture, a collection of early timers, and Americana. Many people know Hugh for his legendary knowledge of Halloween collectibles. Other Yellow Garage dealers included Herman Woolfrey of West Chester, Pa., Elizabeth Ayscough of Chadds Ford, Pa., Sam and Brenda Priem, Melody Hasher, Susan Golashovsky, Gloria Irion, Frank and Yvonne Lisa, and Jack Peoples. Sam and Brenda sold hooked rugs, jewelry and an abstract painting and Jack Peoples sold several pieces of seaweed mocha yelloware and some early glass.

          Boggs Boynton of Clarksboro, NJ report sales of several big ticket items including an apothecary in original paint and a cigar showcase. Dick Gove of Port Republic Decoys said he had a good show and was providing free decoy appraisals. Bob and Kay Viola of Primarily Primitives of New Hope, PA were set-up with quality country smalls as was Linda Grier of Langhorn, PA.

          “It was a show that had something for everyone. I saw everything from one dollar postcards to a $22,500 steer weathervane. There was good glassware, pottery, vintage clothing and jewelry, and of course, a lot of great country antiques” stated Lipman, who, with his wife Tracy Dodge, run the June Festival and operate The Yellow Garage Antiques.
