Lovers of antiques and collectables are set to flock to the historic towns of Chiltern, Beechworth, Rutherglen and Yackandandah next week as part of the new Indigo Antique Week in Indigo Shire.
Visiting the many antique and secondhand stores dotted around Shire, the tours depart from Wodonga next Tuesday 24 August and from Wangaratta on 26 August, ahead of the opening of one of Australia’s leading regional antique fairs in Chiltern from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 August.
In its twelfth year in 2010, the Chiltern Antique Fair is organised by Chiltern Tourism Association’s Erika Hansen, and annually attracts dozens of dealers from across Victoria, NSW and South Australia.
A must for serious collectors, bargain hunters and anyone in search of the rare and the unusual, the Chiltern Antique Fair includes specialist stalls featuring furniture, fine china, lace, antique jewellery, glass and much more.
Media are invited to the launch of Indigo Antique Week and the Chiltern Antique Fair at antique store, Chiltiques on Conness St, Chiltern on Friday 20 August at 11am by the Federal Member for Indi, Sophie Mirabella (herself a keen collector) and Indigo Shire Mayor, Cr Bernard Gaffney.
Indigo Antique Week tours are being run by Wodonga-based Chelbec Tour, phone 0423 745 930.
