The Northeastern Antique, Collectible & Nostalgia Show, which was held on April 17 at the Elks Club in North Bay, is helping to further historical research and the archives at the Discovery North Bay Museum.
“Our collectible show brings out a lot of historians, collectors and just people who are curious. It was well attended this year which has made it possible for us to make this donation to the Discovery North Bay Museum. We area eager to help the Museum to further their research about local history and to ensure that their archives can be maintained,” says show co-organizer, Jeff Fournier.
The show featured many historical and nostalgic items that had a lot of local ties. They were available for attendees to browse or purchase. Tokens from Epletts Dairy, antiques, militaria and vintage toys were plentiful at the show.
“There was a lot of interest in the comic booth and the record booth, which seemed to draw in a younger crowd…..that was nice to see,” says Bill Alexander, Fournier’s partner in the show.
“The vintage toys and local historical artifacts were being bought up by the hundreds of attendees at the show. We can’t wait for our next show which will be held over two days – October 15 and 16, 2016. We will be taking over the entire Elks Lodge for this show. It will be the biggest collectible show North Bay has ever seen,” added Alexander.
