Tolland Historical Society Antiques Show

Tolland is like Willington, in a way—so familiar we despaired of finding something we haven’t seen there. However, for years we bypassed the annual Tolland Antiques Show at the old Tolland High School. This year we gave it a visit. It’s a benefit for the Tolland Historical Society. There were a lot of dealers and the event appeared to be well attended. We are collectors of “collectibles” more than antiques, but like to look. This was definitely not a show for the frugal consumer. We wonder what effect the down economy has on high-end antique sales. ($10 admission) (Bob)
