EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) – An antique dealers group in Arkansas is hoping to make the southern part of the state a top destination for enthusiasts of the vintage goods.
The El Dorado News-Times reports the Union County Antique Dealers Association will host a sale that starts Friday and ends Saturday. It will be at the El Dorado Conference Center.
The event is part of an initiative to make El Dorado and southern Arkansas the go-to destination for antique dealers and collectors.
Antique dealers from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas will be selling items that include furniture, rugs, glassware and pottery.
The president of the Union County Antique Dealers Association says about 500 to 600 people attended the show last year.
