The Antiques Show weekend kicks off with the ever popular and much anticipated Preview Party on Friday night, March 7 at 7. It is a festive evening and a chance to get an exclusive first peak at the superb collections of antiques. A savory menu of delicious hors d’oeuvres and sweets will satisfy the heartiest appetites, and a silent auction will offer distinguished items, including tickets to hard-to-see events, must-have items and tantalizing vacation opportunities. Tickets are $50 at the door and $40 advance purchase, and include unlimited admission for the weekend. The show is organized and run entirely by volunteers from the First Congregational Church. All proceeds from the weekend are donated to worthy causes including Person to Person, Kids in Crisis and Meals on Wheels. Proceeds from the Preview Party on Friday night, an expected $10,000, will be donated to STAR, a local charity serving individuals with disabilities. Regular show hours are Saturday, March 8, from 10 to 5, and Sunday, March 9, from 11:30 to 5. A special show café will serve lunch and afternoon tea. Tickets are $8 at the door, $7 advance sales, $6 for seniors. The First Congregational Church of Darien is located at the corner of Brookside Road and the Post Road just south of exit 13 from I-95 in Darien. For more information or reservations, call 203-655-0491 or go to the show’s Web site, DarienAntiqueShow.org. ■
