We have been asked why our Hill Country Antiques Shows are so popular and there are many answers to that question. First answer is that our dealers make the difference. They arrive with smiles and knowledge, both of which they share with the collectors coming to the show. The hospitality of the neighbors and businesses in Comfort welcome them and the true country setting is a treat from the hectic city shows. Our exhibitors are qualified to answer questions about the antiques they bring to the show and represent them with honesty and since they are all collectors themselves, they share a love of antiques.

The show features Americana antiques, including farm tables, cupbords, quilts, rugs, baskets, pewter, and many interesting surprises. We are also happy to have qualified dealers in jewelry, china, old store collectables, advertising, a few pieces of architectural and gardening pieces. The directors are also happy with some of the added antiques that are not included in advertising.

The public can sit under the Gazebo in the center of the park, eat and visit, and discuss the treasures they are going home with. Decorators as well as collectors visit the show and bring a client to help with their purchases. The happy noises heard at this show remind us of the shows "of old" when people truly had a good time.

Meet us at the Comfort Park on Highway 27, attend the show and then return to the community of Comfort for the historical buildings filled with great shops. The event takes place Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 18 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is $5 per person and good for both days; children 12 and under are free. Buzzies BBQ will provide delicious onsite concessions of turkey, brisket, ham and much more.
