Shoppers in search of fine antiques are invited to attend the 32 Annual
Historic Old Towne Orange Antique Affair, on February 16, 17 & 18.

Nearly 30 antique centers representing more than 650 dealers will offer their finest and most desirable merchandise ranging from rare 17th century American, Asian and European antiques to early 20th century glassware, jewelry and art. “Dealers carefully curate their collections for this annual three-day event to offer connoisseurs a unique opportunity to add some of the most desirable and elusive items to virtually any collection,” said Denise Jochec of Summerhill Ltd.

Specialty stores will roll out the latest home and garden accessories
for spring and summer. And, as always, Old Towne Orange’s 30+
restaurants will offer a wide variety of fare --- from coffee, muffins
and teas to fine continental and international cuisine.

Activities will include antique sale discounts, special in-store
collections, expert consultations and a “Passport-Around-The-Plaza”
program and opportunity drawing. Shoppers can participate in the
“Passport” program by visiting each of the participating stores and
getting stamped for an opportunity to win one of ten prizes valued at,
at least $100. Winners will be selected at 5:30 p.m. on Monday,
