34th Annual Bromley Mountain Antiques Show
18.10.11
:What happens when you squeeze 30 good Americana dealers and their wares into tight rambling confines of a rural ski lodge and then release hundreds of anxious shoppers into the mix? Sparks fly, checkbooks are out, and stuff disappears from the floor of the show at a rapid pace.
That is the scenario perfected by show manager Jim Dunn at the Bromley Mountain Antiques Show, the 34th annual, and the fourth of the shows to take place during Vermont Antiques Week. The two-day show opened for early buying at 8 am on Saturday morning, October 1, with a long line filling the entryway to the lodge, and then descending down the stairs and out towards the parking lot.
Bromley's lodge goes hand-in-hand with the antiques offered there. It is old, okay, maybe not all that old — but its tight quarters can certainly be described as rustic and quaint. The exhibition area for the show rambles throughout the entire level of the base lodge; a room here, an adjacent area near the cafeteria over there, a couple of booths down a corridor, and a whole bunch of space across the front of the building and around the corner — all crammed full of booths.
