CCHS ANTIQUES SHOW As one of the largest in southeastern Pennsylvania, the Chester County Antiques Show has enjoyed seven years of generous support from its Presenting Sponsor, PECO. According to Director of Customer Strategy and Governance Charlie White, PECO’s support of nonprofit organizations, which is focused on making a positive impact in the areas of education, the environment, arts and culture and neighborhood development, dovetails nicely with CCHS programs: “We are proud to support the Chester County Historical Society. Supporting their mission is a great fit for PECO, especially because of their education programs for local youth.”

“With PECO’s generous support, the Antiques Show provides CCHS with funds to continue the outstanding job they do of helping children understand our community roots, preparing them for the future.The Antiques Show this year will have educational activities for children as well as wonderful shopping for their parents and grandparents. Go ahead—bring the kids!” sarah and allen burke, chairs of the chester county antiques show

PECO’s financial support of the Antiques Show helps fund a wide range of CCHS educational initiatives throughout our region. From field trips with hands-on programming and “Traveling Trunks” that are used in classrooms, to National History Day, a competition open to 6th through 12th graders, CCHS is helping students understand and appreciate Chester County’s rich history.
