Several vendors will be returning to the antique show this year. Pete Clapp with “A Silver Chest” of Florida will bring sterling silver pieces, hollowware, flatware and related pieces. Karl and Judy Killingstad with “Old Friends” of North Carolina will have a collection of items including jewelry, crystal, silver and more.

More dealers returning this year include Molly’s Antiques and Fine Collectibles, Coleman’s Collectibles, Antiques by Wanda, P & S Antiques, The Gliding Goat, Bob Howell and Sid’s Antiques & Gifts.
Local artist Randy Gibbs will also be appearing at the show this year. A painter who has captured Colquitt County on canvas, he has painted everything from the Colquitt County Courthouse and the local schools to gopher tortoises and farm equipment. Gibbs has said that the ideas of what he can paint or draw in the community just keep coming.
In addition to the show, gift drawings will be held on Sunday afternoon. Participants do not have to be present to win. The raffle tickets are $5 each for a chance to win one of the following gifts: A Packer football, signed by senior players and Coach Propst; restaurant package valued at $200; $200 gift certificate to Hall’s Nursery and Garden Center; $200 gift certificate to Turner’s Dress Shop; $200 gift certificate to Griner’s Jewelers; handmade white ash box and small walnut bowl; original acrylic on canvas painting or a one-half day quail hunt for four people at Southern Woods Plantation. These tickets can be purchased from any guild member or by calling Susan McCranie at 229-941-2652.
The antique show is Moultrie Federated Guild’s only fundraiser and benefits the community through various projects and programs. Without the support from community leaders and sponsors, the show would not be possible.
“If you missed this show last year, you should make your plans now to attend … It was a hit with visitors,” said Vines. “Sounds like a fun weekend to spend with friends and family, enjoying classes, food, and strolling through the show for that perfect gift.”
