Simple Goods Fall Show Scheduled For Nov. 6 Country Show To Be Held At Heritage Community Center In Berlin, Ohio For 15 years, the Simple Goods show has been held on the first Saturday of November and the last Saturday in April. The fall edition of the Simple Goods show will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6, at the Heritage Community Center in Berlin, Ohio. The show was moved to Berlin, Ohio, several years ago, and the small town has been very welcoming. It offers hotels, food, shops and entertainment along with its beautiful countryside setting. Simple Goods is a walled show with the booths looking like rooms from early homes. It is an all-country antiques and primitives show, but there are a few handmade, one-of-a-kind booths mixed in to help decorators of new material for the various seasons. Shoppers will find booths full of early antique country furniture in original paint and surface along with all the essentials of an early home. At the last Simple Goods show in April, exhibitor Linda Spowart of L. K. Spowart Antiques from Girard, Ohio, had a Connecticut 12-pane cupboard in putty paint, ca. 1790, in her booth. Show-goers could find a 17th century shoe-foot table and an early spiral candleholder in the booth of Sharon Clymer of American Harvest Antiques from Paducah, Ky. Matt Ehresman of Wadsworth, Ohio, was showing a quality three-drawer, square nailed spice chest. There was a little of
everything at the show, even an old stone kitchen sink found in Kris and Paul Casucci’s booth. “Our customers faithfully line up early to get in when the doors open at 9. The show has over 50 dealers who travel from 16 states from the Midwest to the East Coast,” mentioned show promoter Christina Hummel. “The dealers are mostly our ‘regulars’ with a few new dealers added each show. They are very knowledgeable and well-known in the country antiques market. The dealers and customers interact as friends, creating a feeling of a ‘Simple Goods family.’ Some of the customers are known to travel quite far, some fly to the show. Our customers are enthusiastic,” continued Hummel. “We strive to make the show a happy experience for everyone. There are porters to help with large items, tables and chairs to take a break while shopping, and the Simple Goods Cafe is open during the show with a full menu. The ladies in the cafe make delicious homemade soup, sandwiches, and cupcakes,” said Hummel. The show will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Heritage Community Center building is located at 3558 U.S. Route 62 in Berlin, Ohio. Admission is $5. For additional information, call Christina Hummel at 570-651-5781. Continued on page 12
