The Canadian Pickers Sheldon Smithens and Scott Cozens visited the last Christie Show in May and picked some finds - their visit was shown on Episode Three of the Canadian Pickers show on The History Channel.
Interesting items that I saw at the end of the day included a wooden cannon mold pattern (priced at $4300 and shown in image 2).

Shaw's Original Fir...
I love this place! Took my young kids last year and even they enjoyed the day. Promised to work overtime this Saturday, but if I can get out of it, I'm there! Thanks for the reminder AT!
I am planning on going (never been before). Fellow AT visitors, please wear an AT tag so that I can say Hi to you! I would be nice to meet somebody in person.
I went for the first time last September and got some amazing stuff! I was new to "antiquing" and didn't know much but was very happy with what I found. We were there all day and had so much fun. We went again in May and I found the prices very high and only got one little thing but I guess that's how it goes with these big shows - you never know what you're going to find. We weren't going to go this time but now I'm rethinking it.....
