The dealers and customers of the show enjoy the charm of the small town along with local restaurants, hotels, and shops. The show was originally established as a craft show with just a few booths of antiques.

Dealers Rick Fuller, Matt Ehresman, Connie Gleed, Jamie Brunt, and many others bring trailer loads of country furniture. For good smalls, Jeanne Kauffmann, Jacque Bradford, Harry Hall, Tina Black, and Sue Beahm, to name a few, specialize in small antiques. For those looking for New England antiques?

Jill Peterson will have her primitive clothing and accessories at the show, and tinsmith Joe Merle will have his handcrafted tin lighting. Lynne Oppenheimer will be at the show with her jewelry line along with early antiques. The Simple Goods dealers are friendly and love to talk with customers about their wares. There are two Simple Goods shows a year, the fourth Saturday in April and the first Saturday in November. The April show always has unusual topiaries and plants for sale. Some of the dealers bring garden antiques to the spring show as well. At the November show, there will be greenery decorating the booths along with fall seasonal items for sale.
