Description
The Aurora Historical Society hosted its third Antiques Appraisal Fair, Consignment Shop, and Café on Saturday, October 11. It was well attended and provided a fun-filled day for all. The ever popular Antiques Road Show format enabled guests to not only obtain a bit of history of their antiques but to also learn of their monetary value. A team of nine appraisers including Rita Williams, Nancy Shaffer, Kay G. Previte, Jim Clarke, Michael Thal, Ron Silverman, Tim Holder, Andrew Hohenfeld, and Don Arbuckle conducted hundreds of appraisals.
