We have dealt in antiques as our living for 38 years. It has been our choice to travel and exhibit at shows throughout the eastern half of the U.S.” The pair run shows all over the east coast, including one in Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill.
Parrett and Lich have dedicated themselves to working over the road in part because of the increased sales potential involved in shows. “It would take years, if not decades, to see (as) many people with a real interest in buying while sitting in a shop.” If you’re as serious about antiques as Parrett and Lich, you owe it to yourself to come out and see what’s on offer at Locust Grove this Sunday.
