WELCOME TO THE 2016 TORONTO BOTTLE & ANTIQUE SHOW & SALE
This event is hosted by the Four Seasons Bottle Collectors Club on Sunday, April 17th, 2016 from 10:00 am – 2:30 pm at the Pickering Recreational Centre, Pickering, Ontario. Pickering R.C. is a great place to hold our show as the venue is large, brightly lit, amply heated, is close to many attractions and has free parking.
The main focus of the show has always been and will always be bottles, and as collectors change their interests and generations change in what becomes collectible, we are attempting to provide more variety. We are looking at different ways to get more people in the door to see our show. Advertising is done through our website ( bottlecollectors.com), at multi-vendor antique markets, through large antique shows, The Wayback Times, The Woodbridge Advertiser, the News Advertiser, the computer and through you. Please contact George Miller if you would like a copy of the flyer emailed, or extra copies mailed to you for distribution through your clients and shows that you attend. If you know of any antique/ collectible dealers that would be interested in bringing their quality items to sell at our show, please encourage them to contact George Miller for a table.
The club also enjoys interest that is received from the collection displays. This year, we are again looking for anyone that is interested in putting his or her collection on display for free. To ensure the security of these valuable collections, the club has members share in the responsibility of monitoring the displays throughout the show on Sunday. The public is encouraged to vote for their favorite, and a trophy is awarded at the end of the show! For more information, email Paul Huntley at .
Over the years, we have had many exciting options for the dealers and the public to participate in, and this year we will again be providing:
FOR THE PUBLIC
Over 60 tables
Show bucks: free money for participants to spend
Display tables for collectors
Display awards from the people’s choice

Free coffee and light refreshments for the day
