A PottawattamieCounty town is filling up its streets with antiques for the entire weekend. The Walnut Antique show began this (Friday) morning and runs through Sunday. Vendors from around the United States will fill up the streets with all types of antiques to buy, sell and trade.

Gene Larson, Post Commander for the Walnut AmVets, whatever you are looking for in antiques will be at the show as the city has 17 blocks full of dealers and are even using a former food stand, the AmVet hall, for more dealers.

Even though one hall now has vendors, food will be in 3 churches and the optimist club will have food too. However, the best way to start your day at the antique show is with a fireman’s breakfast. They will serve at 6-am each day. Even if you aren’t an antique buff, you will enjoy walking around looking at this stuff. The annual Walnut Antique show continues to be a free event with no admission or parking fees and will go on rain or shine until late Sunday afternoon.
