For more than three decades, collectors of quality Americana and folk art have been flocking to York, PA for predictably great buying at Jim Burk´s Greater York Antiques Show and Sale. Since 1994, Barry Cohen´s original York Tailgate Antiques show, which later became the York County Classic Antiques Show, has offered the country crowd an equally fertile hunting ground for well-priced treasures. These two events complemented each other, merchandise moved regularly between them, and customers got a wide variety of buying options and price points from which to choose. Now these two fine sources have become a single great show.

This year the York Expo ran into some scheduling problems, and the shows, planned to function as a combined event, were forced to move back to the East and West sections of Memorial Hall, where a physical split recurred. > Show hours for the approximately 125 dealer show at York Expo Center´s Memorial Hall this November 2 - 3 are 11am - 7pm on Friday and 11am - 5pm on Saturday. Admission is $10/adult, with unlimited returns for the duration of the show. Web sites are www.jimburkantiqueshows.net and www.b4rtime.com. The show phone is 717/872-2778 (Burk).

Their Philadelphia show, ousted from the Naval Business Center in a power play last April, will be held this April at a new location just off I-76 in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia. For information and contracts, contact Barry M. Cohen at 703.914.1268.
