Nearly three dozen antiques and collectibles dealers from the mid-Atlantic region are converging on Suffolk this weekend as the Suffolk Art League hosts its 39th annual Antiques Show and Sale.

The dealers have a wide variety of items available for sale, including silver, jewelry, porcelain, artwork, linens, art glass, furniture and much more. In addition, clock repair is available from Father Time.

The antiques event is set for King’s Fork Middle School, 350 Kings Fork Rd., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25 and 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 26. Admission is $7.

“As always, we are excited about the Antiques Show and Sale again this year. There will be many beautiful antiques and collectibles available as well as some vintage items,” said Linda Bunch, executive director. “There will be something interesting to everyone, seasoned to younger collectors.”

Bunch said items offered for sale are quality that have history and “soul.”

Artists also are able to purchase items to use in their artwork such as paints, unique beads and babbles to incorporate in jewelry, and vintage paper items such as postcards and magazines to use as images for mixed media work. 

“Our Antiques Show Chair, Dixie Peachy, and her committee have put together another great show and event,” Bunch added. 

Many favorite antiques and collectible dealers are returning along with new vendors that add to the variety of items available.

 In the Commons Area, the Peanut Pals are setting up again this year. Members of this organization have Planter’s, Mr. Peanut and related merchandise on display and for sale. Other vendors include Bartlett Tree Experts, available for consultations and handing out saplings, and Spinal Source Chiropractic, offering information about spine health. 

Shoppers can take a break from the antiques, collectibles and vintage treasures and dine on Barbecue, Brunswick stew and chicken salad from Rodman’s BBQ, along with hot dogs, ham rolls and desserts. All will be available in the cafeteria.
