You know the holidays are soon upon us when the Louisville Antique Show comes to town. The Louisville Deaf Oral School benefit will be held at Louisville Gardens Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 20 and 21.
On Friday, Nov. 19, there will be the eagerly anticipated patrons party that opens the show at 6 p.m. and runs to 10 p.m. It is a great cocktail party provided by the Silver Spoon.
Everyone who is somebody and some who are nobody show up for the evening. There will be 60 antique dealers and a gourmet cafe.
Douglas Riddle is the chairman of the event and Bittners and Fifth Third Bank are the primary sponsors. Aesthetics in Jewelry, H.J. Redmon, ReVive and the Silver Spoon also are sponsors.
