The thirty-seventh New Bern Antique Show will be February 2nd through 4th in the Maola at Riverside Event Center, sponsored by the New Bern Preservation Foundation. The show brings a collection of vendors with a diverse range of items of broad interest. The foundation has put the show on in a number of places in the past, including the Sudan Temple, the Colours activity center, and the Riverfront Convention Center. The location at Maola this year provides space for food trucks and garden exhibitors. There will be a preview event to offer serious collectors a first look on February 1st from 5:30 to 8:00pm. The New Bern Preservation Foundation has been saving New Bern, one building at a time, for over fifty years. We hold protective covenants on over sixty historic structures, including both residential buildings and downtown façades like Baxter’s. We saved the Union Station/Depot, bringing it to a state ready for a serious tenant to continue the work. We worked with the City and a private individual to save the Tisdale house, seeing it moved from Broad Street to Rhem Avenue and under protective covenant. Our campaign to save King Solomon’s Lodge has seen the completion of successful fund-raising and the restoration is almost complete. And our Acquisitions and Covenants Committee is working with the City and private individuals to continue our preservation work in historically Black Dryborough. The Antique Show is a paid event, open to the public. Advance tickets to the show and the preview are available at https://newbernpf.org/antique-show/. Proceeds will be used to further our preservation work in New Bern.
