Are antiques shows a good source for vintage Halloween material?
Absolutely! There are several large shows that always have a nice array of material. The semi-annual (March and October) Atlantic City, New Jersey show is generally bountiful. The Portland, Oregon Expo is also a good venue as are Brimfield, Massachusetts, San Mateo, California, and Round Top, Texas. That being said, dont overlook the smaller venues― especially the antiques holiday memorabilia shows that occur from time to time. Attending these shows is a great way to meet other dedicated collectors and maybe youll find a treasure or two as well! If you are a collector of high-end Halloween folk art, don’t miss the annual Halloween and Vine show in Petaluma, CA. It occurs the last weekend of each September.
