Appraisal Days

“The Antiques Roadshow” may not make it to Spokane, but we do have a great opportunity to learn more about antiques. Antique Appraisal Days at the MAC will be March 24 and 25 at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, 2316 W. First Ave.

For $10 per item (limit of five items), you can bring your treasures to the museum to be appraised by professionals. Money raised benefits the Campbell House Restoration and Preservation. For more information, call 456-3931.

Who is that man?

From what I can tell by the sticker on the back of my photograph, it may have been made in Spokane. Do you recognize the man?

If you think you know who he may have been, let me know.
