This summer’s schedule of antique sales

With the success and excitement over last weekend’s Farm Chicks Antique Show , I think a lot of people have caught the treasure-hunting bug.

I thought it would be helpful, then, to put together a list of all the Spokane area’s upcoming vintage-goods sales so everyone can mark their calendars.

Here are the ones that are on my radar. Please leave a comment or drop me a line if I’ve missed any so we can keep this as a comprehensive list. Thanks!
