Anyone going to the Brimfield Antique show? Is it worth it? I am thinking about driving up there this coming Saturday which is the last day.

It's an amazing amount of dealers and stuff to go thru, well worth the trip in my opinion...

I'm from Texas and have been to Brimfield 3 times in the last 2 years. I have found many good bottles there at reasonable prices. By the last day though it is pretty picked over. I always go as soon as each field opens, Tue-Fri, and find good bottles.

I go every May It's amazing. There are a good amount bottles or whatever else you're looking for! Have fun wish I was going!

Ive never been but was thinking of going Saturday with someone from work.(about 1 hour drive) I heard it two diffrent ways , everything may be picked over by the last few days, but you might be able to get good deals on the last days with whats left

over 5000 dealers got to be crazy

I might be able to go, esp. if we can all carpool, I'll have to see if I can get Sat. off since I volunteered to cover a shift.

I have been twice. I found a few bottles. From what I could tell. The bottle vendors usually want retail for their products. but if you find a bottle on a general antique dealers table/tent you can negotiate a decent price.

wear good shoes
Have cash
its A LOT of walking
if you see something, and you walk away, its hard to remember where you saw it.
be prepared to get "drunk junk"


here are a few photos from the sky to give you an idea what you have in store.

I think I really want to go. I will let you both now for sure on Friday night.
