2009 - No Show and Sale Will be Held
|
|
No 2009 Sale
|
We are sad to report
that due to many different reasons
(bad economy, construction in East Aurora, no Toyfest,
Toytown Museum closing,
some regulars being unavailable this year, etc etc) there
will NOT be an antique show and sale in 2009. It will be
missed by many of us!
It has yet to be determined what will
happen in 2010 and beyond.

General Sale Info & Our 2008 Sale
|
|
In prior years, The Annual Antique Toy Show and Sale
has taken place as part of the Toyfest Festival that was held
every August in East Aurora, NY. The sale usually was at the
Middle School on Main Street, in a large all-purpose room. Just
tables and tables of vendors selling their old toys! Boxes and bins
of Little People parts and pieces! Sets with original boxes and ones
mint-in-the-box too! Wooden pull toys, music boxes! Even other
lines of vintage car and truck toys. It was
the best place for club members and the public to buy the toys
they always dreamed about.
But sadly,
in 2008 East Aurora's Toyfest festival was cancelled,
and chances are it will not be returning.
With Toyfest cancelled, it left our annual sale with no venue and
stuck in limbo! But fortunately, everything pulled together
and the sale moved to a new and very fitting location - the
Toy Town Museum!
(Sadly the museum closed in May 2009).
What a unique opportunity for the public who visit
the museum, as they could actually buy toys that they usually
only see behind the glass displays! So thanks to the museum,
the sale was a success. The club also held auctions of toy donations,
which raised money for local charities. The sale was held over
the last weekend in August.
Below are some photos
from the August 2008 sale:
