Antique RoadTrip Saturday, May 12

Tuesday, May 8, 2007 10:23 AM EDT

Do you have an antique or collectible you would like to learn more about, including its value?

Bring it to the Dogwood Fine Arts Festival's Antique RoadTrip on Saturday, May 12, at 1 p.m., in Dowagiac.

The RoadTrip will star veteran antique appraiser Larry Sydow, who will value and discuss the treasures brought by all RoadTrip participants, in a fun, theater-in-the-round atmosphere at the National Heddon Lure Museum, 414 West St.

Admission is $15 per person, which includes a verbal, informal appraisal of the item you bring, plus a tour of the Heddon Museum, which features an extensive collection of fishing lures, equipment and memorabilia.

RoadTrippers with Heddon fishing items can bring those along for free appraisals.

Each RoadTrip participant will have the unique opportunity to tour a private, vintage car collection, which includes two of Mario Andretti's Indy 500 cars, a 1932 Packard and a one-of-a-kind Super Mustang dragster.

The size of your antique or collectible is no object - if you can get it to the RoadTrip, they can appraise it!

The Dogwood Fine Arts Festival is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the St. Denys Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
