    New to the show this year is an “Antiques Are Green” Children’s Festival of activities that is fun for the whole family. Dino the Dinosaur, symbol of the festival, reminds visitors that antiques are green, yet much newer than he is. On Sunday June 10 from 11am-1pm, entertainers will emphasize the theme of the event – namely that antiques are part of our past and part of our future. And, unlike dinosaurs that live on only in our imagination, antiques continue to provide function and enjoyment for years to come.
