Happy St. Patrick's Day

The weather here has really been a roller coaster ride.  One day snow, next day sun, two days of constant rain and we're back to cold again.  Weather truly does dictate what we are able to accomplish in our busy lives.  Our dealers have been busy spring cleaning and bringing in 'summer-y' collectibles and furniture.  One of the new additions to the second floor is a magnificent piece of restoration which I have included a picture of.   This piece comes to us from a local landmark bar and restaurant that has been closed for quite a few years.  Maybe you recognize it.  It is truly a must see.

The Bloomsburg Antique Show did reschedule due to the flooding at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds.  So if you thought you missed it, you didn't.  It's now scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, March 26th and 27th.  We have some complimentary discount admission cards at our front desk if you would like to stop by and pick them up.  Happy St. Patrick's Day.

March already

Where did February go?  In my defense it is a short month and we have been extremely busy at the Olde Barn Centre.  Even with the snow and bad weather, traffic through our little neck of the woods has remained high.  I'd like to boast that our antique dealers are the best of the best and go to great lengths to provide our guests with the best merchandise, cleanest and friendliest atmosphere.  We enjoy the business we're in and I'm certain it shows.

Local happenings this weekend include the 23rd Annual Antique Show at the General John Burrows Historial Society, Saturday, March 5th from 10-4.  The Historical Society is located at 19 N. Loyalsock Avenue, Montoursville, PA.  Also is the Gun and Outdoor Show in the Pennsdale Civic Center, Village Road, Pennsdale, open Saturday, 9-5 and Sunday, 9-4.  If you do travel to the area for either of these events, please stop by for a visit.
