Curling Club builds on Apple Blossom success

For three years the Colborne Curling Club has quietly been building a successful antique show as part of the annual Apple Blossom Tyme Festival.

And this year it promises to be even bigger and better.

The curling club organizers have tied in with area antique expert Marshall Gummer and have over 20 commited dealers from across the province promising to fill the curling club floor with antiques and collectibles.

Dealers from Barrie, Picton and Kingston will display a wide range of antiques and collectibles, including porcelaine, fine glass, militaria, coins and paper money, stamps, furniture, toys, linens, vintage dolls, books jewelry and more.

Through the auspices of Mr. Gummer there will also be vendors from Twindmills swelling the ranks of dealers, with items at the curling club on Durham St. N. in Colborne and at the Twindmills Purdy Rd. venue, just south of the 401.

The show will run on May 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on May 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission for the show is $3, a portion of which will be donated to the Children's Section of the Colborne Library.

Browsers have asked the club to provide a place for visitors to grab a bite to eat. The club has delivered, creating a Tea Room with sandwiches, sweets, coffee, tea or juice for $5.

It all adds up to two great days at the Colborne Curling Club and one more reason to head down to the Apple Blossom Tyme festival on May 30-31.
