70th Fall Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association Show and Sale

W.A.D.A. is back!  After a 20-month hiatus, dealers are excited to finally return to Waukesha Expo on October 1 and 2, 2021 to see their loyal customers.  The show is full with 55 antiques dealers from 9 states. In addition to Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association (aka WADA)  member exhibitors, there will be a record number of non-member participants - some from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan and Minnesota - who rarely exhibit in Wisconsin.  Here collectors will find a wide variety of affordable and authentic antique offerings all indoors, under one roof.

Expect the unusual!  Gathering for W.A.D.A.'s 70th autumn show, those dealers will offer fresh-to-market wares.  Authenticity, condition and rarity are the guidelines for merchandise exhibited by W.A.D.A.'s knowledgeable and carefully-chosen antiques professionals.

SNEAK PEEK!
ON THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, A PHOTO JOURNALIST WILL POST PICTURES TAKEN DURING SET UP.  CHECK FACEBOOK and W.A.D.A. WEBSITE THURSDAY NIGHT!

The Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association (called W.A.D.A. by those familiar) was formed in 1948, distinguished as the oldest, continually-functioning State antiques organization in America.  Their not-for-profit group is dedicated to preserving Wisconsin's heritage and to providing ongoing education for their dealers and the general public; thus their special exhibit, "Patriotic Americana" featuring selected rarities from personal collections.

3 CENTURIES OF MERCHANDISE!

Wander the show's three large rooms providing spacious aisles and booths.  Merchandise spanning 3 centuries, from vintage holiday to jewelry to antique cupboards, will be found at affordable prices.  Stop for a catered lunch during all show hours where the reputation for good food continues.  Plenty of indoor seating is available and a traditional Wisconsin Fish Fry will return late Friday afternoon and evening so bring your appetite!
