The Lititz Antiques Show: Aging Gracefully Quality Show To Take Place At Warwick Middle School On June 29 And 30 The sweet smell of tradition wafts over hay fields and corn fields in Lititz, Pa., as the Lititz Historical Foundation prepares for its 56th annual Lititz Antiques Show. This perennial favorite will be held Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30, at Warwick Middle School, 104 Maple St. in Lititz, Pa. Established in 1964, the event remains an annual fundraiser for the Johannes Mueller House (1792), former residence to an early Moravian colonist whose communal duties included tanning and textile dying. Promoted as an “old time country show of primarily primitives,” the show will feature nearly 50 dealers presenting a wide range of interesting, reasonably priced

country wares and dry goods. Shoppers can expect to find an array of quality country items, stoneware and redware, kitchen Continued on page 4

A rare and large-sized stoneware fair jug with profuse incised inscriptions will be among many expected highlights at Crocker Farm’s next Stoneware and Redware Auction, scheduled for Saturday, July 21. Crocker Farm Inc. is located in Sparks, Md. It is inscribed “Union County Agricultural Board / Twentyninth Annual Fair / Held at / Jonesboro Illinois. / on / Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday And. Friday. September 16-19th 1884,” and signed “C. & W. Kirkpatrick Established Anna Pottery 1859,” for Cornwall and Wallace Kirkpatrick, of Anna, Ill. Serving essentially as a utiltarian stoneware “time capsule” of Union County, Ill., life in the year 1884, this painstakingly-decorated jug commemorates the 29th Annual Union County, Illinois Fair, held that year in Jonesboro, Ill. Among the numerous inscriptions related to the fair, local

businesses, and culture are the following: a list of various categories of subjects judged at the fair, along with their committee members, including “Class A. Horses, Class B. Mule, Jacks and Jennets, Class C. Cattle, Class D. Hogs, Class G. Grains, Class E. Sheep and Goats, Class F. Poultry, Class H. Farm Products, Class I. Fruits, Class J. M e c h a n i c a l Manufactures, Class K. Ladies Department, Class L. Fancy Articles, Class M. Paintings, Curiosities, Minerals & C, Class N. Preservers Etc., Class O. Miscellaneous, and Class P. Ladies Equestrians.” “Amusements” at the fair listed “Human Race,” “Ox Race,” and “Bull Race,” and there are also lists of officers of the fair, churches in Jonesboro, and various advertisements for Union County businesses, including the newspaper “The Talk.”
