Mini Preview of items:

On Saturday July 4th from 10am – 4pm, and Sunday July 5th from 10am – 1pm, the Sharon Historical Society will present The Great Attic Classic 2009, the truly splendid tag sale and silent auction, under big tents on the grounds of the Historical Society, 18 Main Street, Sharon, Connecticut.

This popular event is staged every three years by Sharon’s Historical Society and is a chance to acquire treasures large and small during two very busy days. The Historical Society reports that this year’s donations have been as top notch as ever. But they note that more donations are always welcomed. Pick up can be arranged for larger items.

To add a touch of competition to the event, a few select items will be highlighted in the Silent Auction Tent. Beginning at Friday evening’s preview party, the Silent Auction will end at noon on Sunday. This year the Society’s silent auction items include two outstanding hand-crafted antique doll houses, a hand colored aquatint botanical published in London in 1804, an antique blue and white bed quilt and much, much more. Don’t miss an opportunity to see these one of a kind items.

As usual the Attic Classic tents themselves will be filled to the brim with antiques, new home décor, lamps, jewelry, lighting fixtures, china, glassware, furniture, rugs and linens and more. The Great Attic Classic sale has been long regarded as the best tag sale of the summer. This year will live up to all expectations, with donations coming in fast and furiously. All are reasonably priced and admission to the tents is free after 10 am. Early buying on Saturday will be held starting at 9 am, the cost of admission is $10.

An early buying Preview Party will be held on Friday evening, July 3 from 6-8. Tickets are $35/person and should be reserved in advance. The party features hors d’oeurves catered by the Sharon Day Care Center and an open bar. Please call the Historical Society to reserve your tickets today!

The Historical Society would like to thank The Salisbury Bank and Trust Company, Prindle Insurance Agency, Grey House Publishing, Sharon Optical, and UpCountry Services for sponsoring this popular community event.
