May floods mean two antique markets in October

LAWRENCEBURG, IN (FOX19) - The Tri-State Antique Market will be “doubling-up” in the month of October at the Lawrenceburg Fairgrounds. The regular “first Sunday of the month” session will be held on Sunday, October 2.

A make-up date for the event’s cancelled show (flooding) in early May will give patrons a “last chance” opportunity on Sunday, October 30.

Both dates will feature the same indoor and outdoor mix of vendors that makes this Market one of the region’s most popular seasonal treasure hunts. Vendor participation often ticks up in the cooler Fall weather, so patrons can expect well over 200 sellers at each October date.

The Market’s legendary variety covers five acres and includes antique and vintage furnishings, art and other decorative objects, jewelry, pioneer primitives and pop culture memorabilia. Styles and periods shown run the course from early 19th century to mid-century modern.

Tri-State Antique Market hours are from 7:00 A.M.
