点评:I will start by saying we have attended many outdoor antique shows over the years and it is something we often enjoy very much.
We visited on the first two days of the antique week show, Monday and Tuesday. There are 100’s of vintage and antique dealers, as well as some market type vendors with reproduction import products, vendors with craft items, some with folk festival type items and many with yard sale junk. There are food trucks, mostly of the “fair” type variety, such as deep fried stuff, and stinky smoky barbecue. We didn’t see any other food truck options, but thankfully, we had brought our own food and drinks for lunch and snacks.
There was a huge variety of antique categories, and overall, I would say prices were at the high end. Some vendors had clean, nicely displayed items with visible prices, such as the ones in the large white tents with multiple vendors inside. Many vendors did not bother to clean, price or display their things, and there was just a lot of jumbled junk dumped on a table or the ground. A large percentage of product throughout the show was not priced and we eventually gave up on asking because they still seemed to ask top dollar prices.
We did end up leaving early on the second day as we weren’t enjoying the show and would definitely not attend again. We visited some antique shops in the area and found some lovely things for much better prices.
翻译:首先,我要说的是,这些年来我们参加过许多户外古董展,这是我们经常非常享受的事情。
我们在古董周展览的前两天,也就是周一和周二参观了。有数百家古董和古玩经销商,还有一些市场类型的供应商出售进口复制品,一些供应商出售工艺品,一些供应商出售民俗节日类型的物品,许多供应商出售庭院旧货。有食品卡车,大部分是“集市”类型的,比如油炸食品和烟熏烧烤。我们没有看到任何其他食品卡车,但幸运的是,我们带了自己的食物和饮料作为午餐和零食。
古董种类繁多,总的来说,我认为价格偏高。一些供应商的商品干净、陈列精美,价格一目了然,比如那些在大型白色帐篷里,里面有多个供应商的商品。许多供应商懒得清洁、定价或展示他们的商品,桌子上或地上堆满了杂乱的垃圾。整个展会期间,大部分产品都没有标价,我们最终放弃了询问,因为他们似乎仍然开出高价。
第二天我们确实早早就离开了,因为我们不喜欢这个展会,而且绝对不会再参加了。我们参观了该地区的一些古董店,发现了一些价格更便宜的可爱的东西。
