September 23, 2022
She rides again! The 15th anniversary celebration of Miss Morgans Milkweed Antiques Antique and Artisan Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center complex, 80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, Pa. Show hours will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for day one and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. day two. Gas up the truck, get some seasonal garb, fluff up a fancy hat and stroll among the best pickers together at one unique antique and artisan event. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, attendees are asked to wear a touch of pink. Many vendors will be selling pink items, with proceeds going to Wellspan Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon, Pa. Also, dont miss the return of the original witch on a pig tee-shirt, she rides again. This fall show is hosted by the owners of Miss Morgans Milkweed Antiques, Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo. The two started the show 15 years ago in the backyard of their shop in Bethel, Pa., with just a few tents full of great vendors and eager shoppers who came dressed in witch hats and costumes to celebrate the fall event. Each year, the show grew bigger and better, and with that came bigger and better venues. This will be the fourth year that they have brought their show to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center. Vendors will be provided with larger booths to allow more room for social distancing, and, when possible, empty spaces will be provided between vendors to allow dealers and guests more room. Hand sanitizer will be available at the front entrance and other points throughout the show. All facility overhead doors (and there are many) will be open to transform the facility into an open air event, so please dress accordingly. The show will go on rain or shine. With over 75,000 square-feet indoors and 70-plus acres outside, be sure to wear good walking shoes. What makes this fall antique and artisan show so successful? Well, its the talented vendors, of course. And this years line-up of quality vendors will not disappoint. The slogan, Bring a truck, isnt a joke. Shoppers will need one to haul off their goods. Each year, the line-up of vendors grows, and this year is no different. A few include Side Street Salvage, Winter Wheat Antiques, Rusty Nut Antiques, Cornfield Primitives, and Cabin in the Woods. Many well-known talented artisans will be on-site, including Bobbis Addictive Accessories, Krisnick, Wooly Rugger, Fairy Rose Studio, The Mud Room, and others. There are many dealers who bring traditional antiques to the show as well. No event is complete without great food, and there will be a variety of delicious foods from which to choose, including the in-house food vendor, Roberts, a native of Lebanon County. Top it all off with a Harrisburg Farm Show Milkshake made by ELCO Future Farmers of America (FFA). Lebanon Valley Craft Brewery, which began 160 years ago, has reopened its doors in its original building and will be on-site offering seasonal brews. Also new this year to the show but not to Lebanon County will be the Island Thyme Grill offering its famous jerk chicken and other popular beach-themed eats. Another food vendor will be Pork Dude BBQ and its famous homemade apple slaw. Back by popular demand are two talented ladies promoting two well-known paint companies and providing DIY painting demos. This year they will offer hands-on workshops. Be sure to stop by and work beside two of the best painting instructors in the region. Chris Kimmel, owner of Five & Divine in Wernersville, Pa., and Jayne Yorty, owner of Carriage House Style in Quentin, Pa., will share their knowledge of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. These two bring with them a wealth of knowledge and are ready to share their talents with attendees. We are amazed at the way the show has grown over the years and so grateful to have so many talented pickers and artisans set up at the show. If it wasnt for our loyal customers, vendors, and family and friends, none of this would ever happen. We are grateful to each and every one of them, stated Gibble.
