Ellis Tech’s Country Antique Show- A Huge Success!

On Saturday, April 1st, Ellis Tech hosted the 29th annual Country Antique show. The event was a massive success raising a significant amount of funding for the PFO that will go towards supporting the students of Ellis Tech. 

From Jan Praytor the show’s organizer:

“The Ellis Tech Parent Faculty Organization has truly brought back “Country Antiques in Connecticut’s Quiet Corner” in style. Yesterday’s show was amazing! This is due in large part to the staff, retirees, students, parents, and family members who manage all aspects of the show. Special thanks to Jim Gallow and John Murdock whose students built and wired the booths, staff and students who painted them, and to Beverly Andracchi who, with her crew, prepared and served up delicious grilled chicken, soups, and desserts to the hungry antique shoppers and dealers. Our student porters are simply the best, and Trooper Guertin is a real treasure! Thanks to the local businesses for their donations. Needless to say, we have the premier dealers who bring their finest and help spread the word, and customers who come from near and far to share their love of antiques. We all can’t wait till next year!”

Comments from Facebook:

“This is our favorite show by far. There are always wonderful country antiques and a passionate following shows up every year. Jan Praytor and her crew pull it all together seamlessly.”

“Just returned home from the Quiet Corner Antiques Show in Danielson, CT. This is my personal favorite Country Antiques and Primitives Show. So Glad this show is back in the saddle again after not happening for several years because of COVID. Had a chance to see folks I haven’t seen in several years as well as meet other friends and clients I know from Facebook. Best part is I was able to buy…made 4 trips to my SUV with goodies. This is a top notch show and is a must for anyone interested in real Antiques…!!!”

“As before a great show. Thanks to all the hard workers putting this together. We loved out porters !!”

“Thank you for appreciating these young people!  I worked with them for 30 years & I always felt they were remarkable and worthy of praise!”
