The event will begin with an "Antique Roadshow" Friday night at the old Railroad Depot from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. There will be live music and five Antique Evaluators available: Monica Fowler, Max Nickerson, Ron Mills, David Glynn and Vicki Sustana. The public is invited to bring in antiques to have appraised for a charge of $2.00 per item. The Suwannee Valley Quilt Shoppe will provide a Dinner Buffet at the Quilt Shoppe Café for $9.95. Florida Quilt Groups will be bringing quilts for display to be hung by the Trenton High School Band members. Some of the Quilt Groups displaying their quilts are: The Country Roads Quilters (Marion County), Springhouse Quilters (Gilchrist County), Joyful Hearts & the Beachville Belles, Tree City Quilt Guild ( Gainesville), Anthony Quilt And Go Quilters (outside Ocala) High Springs Sewing Society, Dixieland Quilters (Old Town), Log Cabin Quilters (Levy County), Fort White Quilting Sisters, Christian Quilt Club of Interlachen, Alachua County Day Guild, Fowler's Bluff Quilters, Madd Hatters of Donnie Springs and the Springhouse 4-H Quilting Campers (who will be selling lemonade and water to raise money for sewing camp). The Featured Quilt Group at the Old Railroad Depot this year, the Country Roads Quilters from Marion County, will set up their display with Quilt Demonstrations of lap quilting and appliqué. There will also be a Quilt Turning at 11:00 AM by Gloria Comstock. Quilt Turning is a term used to describe the process of moving quilts from one bed to another, while each is described along with their history. Gloria has a degree in the history of quilting and would love to look at your older treasures from times past. Inside the Depot there will be a display of Madalyn Jones's beautiful hand quilted treasures. Madalyn grew up on a farm outside of Newberry. She quilted over 300 quilts in her lifetime. The house where Madalyn was born is now the welcome house for the Dudley Farm. Cotella Bevis will also be featured inside the Railroad Depot. Cotella was known for her bright colors and "Wild Quilt Challenges". Some of these wonderful works of art will be on display provided by the "Needle and Eye" Quilt Group from Gainesville. If you get bored with the quilts, try sitting back and listening to the live music provided by the Philman family, clogging with the "Cross Creek Cloggers" or check out the dozen "Crafters" down the trail just past the Depot; or the six Antique Dealers beside the Depot…. Then there is the food provided by service groups and local church members. … There is something for everyone! Contacts: Stephanie Metts (352) 463-3842 or Kyle Stone (352) 463-3467
