Witches Fly North Antique And Artisan Show Approaches
AAN Current News
Show Will Be Held At The Lebanon Valley Expo Center On Oct. 4 And 5 Keep your eyes on the night sky, and you just might catch a glimpse of a friendly, flying witch making her way to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center to attend the Witches Fly North Antique and Artisan Show on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4 and 5, in Lebanon, Pa. For 13 years, this event has showcased the best in early antiques, vintage wares, primitives, industrial, salvage and artistically created jewelry, clothing and more. It gets better with each passing year, and Witches Fly North 2019 is sure to please all attendees again. This fall show is hosted by Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques. Owners Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo have watched this event grow from a small backyard casual event to a bustling, busy venue full of vendors and shoppers sporting witch hats and capes. But don’t let the hat fool you, it’s all in fun and a great way to bring both vendors and shoppers together for a busy two days of selling and picking. The show has grown in leaps and bounds each year, creating the need for bigger and better venues. If you thought last year’s event held at the Tulpehocken Manor couldn’t be better, think again. The Lebanon Valley Expo Center won’t disappoint, with plenty of climate-controlled space indoors, as well as covered, open air space outside. Since the show must go on, rain or shine, this venue will keep vendors and customers comfortable and provide plenty of parking. Although every talented vendor contributes to the spirited atmosphere of the show, hosts Gibble and Tranquillo are excited to introduce several new vendors this year. Among them are Sue Whitney, the founder and creative genius behind Junkmarket. Founded in 2000, Junkmarket has become the national leader in the “rustoration” industry. Whitney is also the author of “Junk Beautiful” and several other inspiring books and has been featured on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family Show,” “The
