The Antiques Roadshow is coming up!

Thanks to everyone who made Heritage Play Day a success! On February 20th, we held our annual family event where kids (and those who are no longer kids but are still young at heart) get a chance to make a variety of old-fashioned toys. It was a gorgeous, sunny Saturday, and we threw the doors open wide to the street. Plenty of people came by and lots of interesting things were made.

Our next museum event will be a big one. It's the annual Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives Antiques Roadshow - the ninth annual, in fact. This year the Roadshow will take place at the Sechelt Seniors Centre (5604 Trail Avenue) on Saturday, March 20, from 10:00 until 4:00. Do you have treasured belongings that you'd like to know more about? Want to know what they're worth? Come on down! You can bring up to three items for appraisal. The fee is ten dollars for one item, fifteen dollars for two, and twenty dollars for three. The Roadshow is always popular, so we recommend coming down early. We hope to see you there!
