They and some interested friends formed a working group to make this happen, but the group soon realized that, with the space they had at the fairgrounds, they could open it up to many types of antiques shown or sold. Each year the group extends an open invitation to people across the region who are passionate about displaying their treasures of all kinds. The displays, which cover a wide variety of old, restored, newly fabricated replicas and for sale items, make a unique show each year depending on who brings what to the show. Visitors will see sights like antique stationary engines, farm implements, kitchenware, tools, equipment, furniture, household appliances, cars, trucks, toys, carts, wagons and more. Many of the items are restored and functional, and visitors get to speak with the owners and restorers. The Everything Antique Show runs Friday, May 31, through Sunday, April 2. People can watch the Rolling Relics parade at 1 p.m. and a threshing demonstration at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Also on Sunday will be a blacksmith demonstration at 11 a.m. To make Living History more accessible and userfriendly, especially for out-oftown visitors who don't know their way around the Havre area, North Central Montana Transit will again have a bus route making the loop to all the historical venues starting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 1, at Town Square, across from the Havre Beneath the Streets ticket office, 120 3rd Ave. Tourism Business Improvement District funds, handled by the Tourism Committee, pay for this event's advertising across the state and in Canada, that helps assure that all the money raised at each venue goes toward raising funds for improvements, expenses and operating costs.
