Twindmills hosts Heart and Stroke "Roadshow" clinic

Twindmills Market at the corner of Purdy Rd. and Big Apple Dr. is hosting its second annual series of Roadshow appraisal clinics starting this weekend.

Last year the antiques and collectibles market hosted the charity fundraiser clinics and they were such a success they're doing it again.

This Saturday and Sunday, February 13-14 the Twindmills experts with a combined expertise of 150 years will evaluate that knickknack, family heirloom, childhood treasure or antique, and tell you what it's worth.

The format is simple. You pay $5 for single items or $10 for any three items and they will appraise them for you. All the money raised this weekend will go to the Heart and Stroke Fund.

Ray Cobbing will draw on his expertise in furniture, primitives and glass. Ed Fedora will hande the militaria and Orientalia. Marshall Gummer, fresh off his live tv stint on breakfast television can tell you all you want to know about china, pottery, art and jewelry. Rick Mutton handles memorabilia and advertising, while Robert Watt does the toys, implements and coins.

It promises to be two fun-filled days with surprises guaranteed. Last year the team of appraisers raised over $1,500 and valued more than $150,000 in treasures.

Spectators are welcome. Appraising starts at 11 a.m. both days and ends at 4 p.m.

If you miss this one, there will be two more, on March 13-14 for the Cancer Society and on April 17-18 for the Easter Seals Foundation.
