We are on facebook now and picking up fans everyday! The idea came to me when I heard other business owners starting up a facebook page to promote their, shop, resturant, dealership etc. I already had a page of my own where I enjoyed communicating with my family, extended family, mostly 1st & 2nd Cousins in England and friends from work and classmates from school and college days! I decided to open a page and post photo albums of past shows, recent shows, upcoming shows, Fans can comment, share their own experiences at the shows, down load photos of their own collections and even link in to this website with a click of a button! I'm very excited about the FB page because I can communicate immediately and more effetively with fan's of our show and answer their question either privately or on the WALL. You can write on the WALL too! Watch for updates, any changes or discounts in the future. Hve fun with it!  We sure are!!!  Here we go again! It's countdown to "Promise of Spring". By tomorrow night, the trailer will be loaded and we will begin our final hours until set up. The school is ready to be transformed once again into a Spring Garden or if you prefer, a cabin in the woods for all of your primitive finds. Our dealers have been busy creating goodies to accent the antiques they have been collecting to bring to the show for months now. I'm on vacation as of tonight, not having the entire week off after the show, I will take a Monday off to rest and then we begin to plan the Next Homepun Holidays Show in November when it will be our 20th anniversary. BIG changes are coming in the next 8 months, so keep posted to find out what they are, better YET, become a Fan of "Breckenridge Antique & Folk Art Shows" on FACEBOOK!!! Hope to see you on Saturday. We are excited, we hope you are too.....Char

I am so excited about the upcoming show for many reasons. Number one is of course the Fans! We always look forward to seeing all the regulars (you know who you are!) and all the new folks too! We are always amazed at how early in the morning these folks will arrive to get a good position for entering the show. I have a few ladies and gentlemen that come as early as 8:30a to get one of the 25 chairs set up to accomidate the first arrivals. It really doesn't matter when you arrive, you will find plently of goodies to buy. There is also the family reunion that occurs at every show when the dealers arrive to set up their booths, the day before. Some of us are old friends and some new. Check out the Participating Dealers in the next few days for an updated listing. We are experiencing some spring weather this week and the meterorologist in Lansing and Grand Rapids are forecasting 45-50 degrees in the coming week. I just hope that the higher temperatures will hold out until after the show. Even if they dont. it won't keep us from feelling a little 'spring" in our step until April arrives.
