AMVET's Antique Walk and Show
THE WALNUT AMVET's Antique Show and Walk is set for Father's Day Weekend, June 13th, 14th, and 15th, 2008. A past show boasted the addition of American Flags up and down Antique City Drive, which added an additional patriotic symbol for the AMVET's and the Show. LAST year's show was blessed with beautiful weather, and the 40 to 45 thousand who attended enjoyed it as well as the 300 plus dealers who made up the show. These dealers bring some of the finest antiques to be found. This includes anything from fine antique furniture to primitives, glassware to linens, marbles to quilts, dolls to advertising items, fishing lures to toys, and the list goes on. Many of these dealers save their finest antiques to bring to the Walnut AMVET's Antique Show, which adds to the show and makes the customers keep returning for this annual event. WE MUST keep in mind the reason for holding the AMVET's Antique Show and Walk; It is to provide a show where dealers can sell antiques and customers can buy antiques. With the hard work of the AMVET's and the Walnut community, this show is one of the finest ANTIQUE SHOWS in the Midwest. THE AMVET's advertise this event throughout the United States and it draws dealers from over half of the states. The 2007 show attendance was up again and the dealers and organizations involved appreciated the turnout. FOOD IS provided by many Walnut organizations from the Fireman's all you can eat Country Breakfast to the Optimists' steak fry. Other groups serve pork sandwiches, turkey legs, and spaghetti. Don't forget the AMVET's famous Funnel Cakes. Couple this with the restaurants in the area and shoppers have a weekend that provides both quality antiquing and a relaxing atmosphere. PLAN NOW to attend the 26th Annual AMVET's Antique Show and Walk, June 13, 14, & 15, 2008, The Finest Show in Western Iowa - the antiques will be great in 2008.
