Last Weekend’s Antique Show In Cambridge City A Success For All Who Participated

October 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment
antique show cambridge inauguration 010

Whether you were in Cambridge City to purchase antiques or to show them, many walked away happy last weekend.

Vendors came from all over, including Tennessee and Kansas City

bringing some unique antiques with them for display.  A local collector from Richmond, Robbie Lee, said he had been busy all that  morning at his booth set up with items including books, refinished furniture and other collectibles.

Both sides of main street were lined with vendors, as well as antique shops being opened such as the Log House Antiques whose owner was one of the coordinators of the event.  Several vendors were set up around the grounds of their establishment.  (see more photos on GoWayneCounty’s Facebook site).

Lumpy’s Café and The Pour House

both reported being very busy last Saturday, with lines at the counter in both places.  It was a success as well for many who came to find a one of a kind antique or collectible, savor some good homemade food and purchase decorative gourds for the holidays.  There was something for everyone and it will hopefully become an annual event.

If you have an event coming up and would like us to cover it or need advertising, just let us know.  Go to GoWayneCounty.com and click “contact.”  Send us your request and we will put your event on our calendar, and if we can we will cover it for you as well.  We love to be invited—but we may show up anyway.

Winter Wonderland In Cambridge City

November 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment
A Toasty Fire at the Log House Antiques

A Toasty Fire at the Log House Antiques

Luminaries lined the streets last night as we drove into Cambridge.  Storefronts were decorated with twinkly lights, and carolers roamed the streets singing songs of cheer while the lighted parade came down the street amidst cries of “Santa” and “Merry Christmas” from the large crowd that had gathered.

It was a merry night as we entered one cheerful shop after another to get warm and shop for presents.  Each shop offered goodies for the children and refreshments.  At the Log House antiques there was hot cider and yummy chocolate caramel bars and cookies.  People gathered around the open fire in the hearth and warmed themselves.

Across the street at building 125 there were bags of goodies for the kids as well as at the Pour House a few doors down–many shops had drawings for door prizes.  The floral shop, Roses and Rainbows,  gave away light up snowmen to the children and had discounts store wide.

Creitz Park in Cambridge City

We ended the night with a drive through Creitz Park in Cambridge, just off the main street, to see the beautiful light display.  And at the end, we got to visit Santa at the fire station and enter another drawing for prizes.

The light display at Creitz Park

will run until the end of the holiday season on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.  It is worth the drive and the 5.00 donation per carload to see it!

To get a feel for the evening listen (and try to see) the video below–it was a bit dark–but still tells a story.

Food, Antiques, and Architecture In Cambridge City

Vinton House in {{w|Cambridge City, Indiana}}....
Image via Wikipedia

by Linda Humphrey

Took another wonderful little trip to Cambridge City the other day. Hit our favorite shops. The Pour House for lunch, of course.

All the old buildings on National Road are so interesting, and this one is especially so. It’s actually called the Pour House Antiques and Cafe.

Location: 109 W. Main St. (U.S. 40).

Hours: Tues.-Sat. 9-5; Sun. 11-4.

The lunch fare is outstanding and this time I got the chicken salad wrap, which includes potato salad, chips and a pickle. YUM! Just had a coke to go with it, because we start our shopping with lunch, and then end the trip with a delicious coffee drink at the same place.

(For more down home cooking you might try Lumpy’s restaurant…also delicious.)

Then we meander down to Building 125…

Location: 125 W Main St. (U.S. 40).

Hours: Tue.-Thurs. 10-5;  Fri. 10-4; Sat. 10-5

Here you can enjoy 3 floors of antiques in a beautifully restored old bldg.

A newly opened store is the Log House Antiques across 40 and there are 3 floors of goodies there also. Beautiful jewelry, antiques and great decorating ideas.

The Hole in the Wall Antiques is absolutely packed w/ things that bring back memories of another time. We do so miss Cows in the Creek. Vicky has the most wonderful ideas for decorating, and we hope she returns soon.

All of these great places are included in Antique Alley on U.S. 40.

Centerville and Webb’s Antique Mall, The Olde Brass Hog, etc.  And I must say the owners and helpers are so kind and knowlegeable.

Back at the Pour House we had delicious, special hot coffee drinks on that chilly day, and were offered biscotti or muffins, pie or homemade fudge. GO! … and enjoy.
