Just one week to go and we’re finalising our list of traders, the menu for the Collectables Café, and all the little things we do to make the Fair comfortable and enjoyable for our visitors, traders and volunteers.
We have uploaded a copy of the Kilmore Antique Fair Flyer for you to print as a reminder.

We have eight new traders offering wonderful new varieties of antiques in our fair including, for example, needlework sets and sewing implements, oil lamps, uranium glass, antique clocks, old and vintage toys (including the ever-popular Dinky, Matchbox and Meccano), umbrellas, tribal, taxidermy and many other types of antiques and collectables. Our preliminary Fair Guide lists all the traders and the excellent variety of goods they will have for sale (the Preliminary Fair Guide may be subject to last minute changes).

Put this in your calendar: Kilmore Antiques & Collectables Fair, 22nd & 23rd October 2011
Just 30 minutes from the Northern Ring Road – take the M31 Hume Freeway exit, then the Wallan/Kilmore/Echuca exit for the B75 Northern Highway, drive through Wallan and continue another 10 minutes to Kilmore – you’ll find us on the right hand side just past Hudson Park with the superb wooden carvings of the soldier and nurse at the War Memorial. Our “Getting to the Fair” page has a Google Map link so you can plot and print your route.

Well this year’s Fair has come and gone, and it was a HUGE success! We had more people through the door than recent years, the Café was flat out keeping up with demand, and even though the traders are understandably shy about disclosing their sales we had a enough nods and winks to know that at least some had a very successful weekend!
As always our wonderful staff of volunteers worked hard all week and during the weekend. Some baked goodies at home, some helped at the door, in the kitchen, serving café customers and others took care of the traders. They created and maintained a very friendly atmosphere which made the whole weekend a very pleasant experience. Well done everyone, and a HUGE thank you!
Finally, a very special thankyou to our traders: our regulars, who have been loyal to us for many years, and the traders new to us this year. Without your continued and enthusiastic patronage our Fair would not be the success it is!
