Bundled up... Car full of gas... Fanny Pack loaded with "cash"... I pulled out of our driveway around 8 a.m. Saturday morning in the "7 degree" Wisconsin Winter temperatures ... The SUN WAS OUT.... ROADS WERE DRY... ~ What more could I ask for... A new Antique Show was being held in Illinois at the DuPage Expo Center, in St. Charles Illinois... Word had it that a lot of the "Kane" dealers were setting up there... Starved for an antique fix, - How could I not make the 2-1/2 hour drive!*!*! As you will see, it was well worth it!*!*! (click on pics to enlarge detail... comments are welcome!!!)
An inviting ANTIQUE SHOW SIGN got my adrenaline pumping after the long boring winter-time drive!*!*!
