This one-day show is renowned among dealers and collectors alike as the best gathering of country antiques in California. Held in Los Altos, the show will feature more than 50 dealers with everything from folk art, quilts, and country furniture to stoneware and garden antiques. Show organizers describe the event as having the atmosphere of  “old friends getting to spend the day enjoying their common interests in early American country antiques.”
