Last year’s event was a huge success, receiving rave reviews and requests to repeat it annually. People from Reading and surrounding communities came with all sorts of treasures, a Victorian locket, a silver tea service, a cuckoo clock, and a Russian Army helmet. You name it, they brought it. Some items were worth megabucks & others were very sweet mementos.
Proceeds from the event will be used to support the needs of Reading residents age 60+.
