New to the Appraisal Fair will be a "Preview Party" on Friday night, Feb. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. for those that would like to purchase their treasures early.

The new addition will feature live entertainment, a silent auction, light hors d'oeuvres and the opportunity to shop the vendors early for that special item. Admission will be $10 per person. Appraisers will be available as well as more than 40 antique dealers.
