Harwinton Antiques and Design Weekend June 7th -June 8th, 2014, Harwinton, CT

Harwinton Antiques Show at Harwinton Fairgrounds

This is a very busy weekend in my neck of the woods. But one place I will surely be is The Harwinton Antiques Weekend June 7-8 in Harwinton, CT. This show was orginally The Farmington Polo Grounds show. The new off of Route 4 in Harwinton is actually not too far fromthe original show. As I have discussed in previous posts about the show, the new venue offers outdoor exhibitors but also pavillons where you can catch a break from the sun or protection from a  dizzle here and there.

Learn How To Decorate With Antiques and Collelctiblels at Harwinton Antique Show

It is one of my favorite shows because many of the dealers set up  exciting and elaborate booths which show youhow to use antiques and collectibles as decorative items. But there are still plenty of  booths where you can poke around and just enjoy the visigtors to the area who bring fresh itrms for sale.

I always come home with a car filled with great stuff. You will find about 60 exhibitors according to the show's official website. Here is the link  http://www.farmingtonantiquesweekend.com/

 Visiting The Harwinton Antiques Weekend,  Harwinton, Connecticut 

I am heading out to The Harwington Antiques And Design Weekend (previously called The Farmington Show). This annual antiques event held the weekend of Labor day  September 1 and September 2, 2012 is a delightful show. Held in a lovely country setting in Harwington, Connecticut,  the fairgrounds show has developed into a special showcase of designer and collector dealers.

But what I really like about the show is the room settings done in the indoor  pavilions. The show has both indoor and outdoor booths.

Things to remember:

Sunscreen (many booths are also indoors)
Hat
Camera
Checkbook/money
Ice water (they also have refreshments)
