Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques To Host The Art Of Antique And Artisan Show On Oct. 1 And 2 Mechanical Ninth Annual Event Will Take Place At Lebanon Valley Expo Center The “open air” ninth annual Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques Antique and Artisan Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1 and 2, at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center complex,80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, Pa. Show hours will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for day one and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. day two. Gas up the truck, get some seasonal garb, fluff up a fancy hat and stroll among the best pickers to come together at one unique antique and artisan event. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, attendees are asked to wear a touch of pink. Many vendors will be selling pink items, with proceeds going to Wellspan Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon, Pa. This fall show is hosted by the owners of Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques, Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo. The two started the show 15 years ago in the backyard of their shop in Bethel, Pa., with just a few tents full of great vendors and eager shoppers who came dressed in witch hats and costumes to celebrate the fall event. Each year, the show grew bigger and better, and with that came bigger and better venues. This will be the third year that they have brought their show to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center. Vendors will be provided with larger booths to allow more room for social distancing and, when possible, empty spaces will be provided between vendors to allow dealers and guests more room. Hand sanitizer will be available at the front entrance and other points throughout the show. All facility overhead doors (and there are many) will be open to transform the facility into an “open air event,” so please dress accordingly. The show will go on rain or shine. What makes this fall antique and artisan show so successful? Well, it’s the talented vendors, of course. And this year’s line-up of quality vendors will not disappoint. The slogan, “Bring a truck,” isn’t a joke. Shoppers will need one to haul off their goods. The show will once again welcome Jill Peterson. She is the owner of Frontera Roots, where she showcases her personal line of organic clothing and jewelry. Shoppers will have the opportunity to purchase her creative wares.

Mechanical banks were invented in the middle of the 19th century to encourage children to save money. When many hear the word “mechanical,” they think of an engine of some sort, but these banks have no engines. Instead, they rely on gravity or someone using a handle or lever to make them move. Many mechanical banks depicted someone or something historical and were usually made of castiron. They were handpainted in one of several factories and were sold for mere pennies. The rarest banks in good condition can fetch hundreds of thousands at auctions. The highest priced banks have Continued on page 4
