| Announcing the 31st Anniversary
of
Heart of Country! The 31st Anniversary of the Heart of Country Antiques Show is a wonderful milestone to celebrate and we are getting things lined up to make it an "Antiquing Adventure" for all to remember! This show is filled to the brim with American, English, Primitive, and Period Furniture, American art, Folk art, Western art, Pottery, Quilts, Decoys, Sports, Jewelry, Nautical, Historical, Rugs, Baskets, Paint, Pewter, Silver, Books, and endless decorative accessories from North to South. The Heart of Country Antiques Show takes place as always, at the amazing Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville on February 2, 3, 4, 2012. The hotel is newly refurbished with sparkling rooms, lobbies, and fresh concept restaurants for everyone to enjoy. Plan to attend the famous opening night Preview Party on Thursday evening, February 2nd from 6 – 9 p.m. and be the first to shop the show, and dine on one of the best southern party buffets ever presented with live country music and tons of special guests to boot! Tickets for the Preview Party opening are available at the door for $65 ($60 if purchased prior to Jan. 20) and good for re-entry through Friday and Saturday. Friday morning before the show opens to the public, you'll have another chance to glimpse inside and get a close up tour of the booths guided by expert collectors during the Walking Tour. They turn things upside down and inside out to show tour goers just what makes a particular antique something to note. This tour gets rave reviews every year and remains one of the favorite stops throughout the show dates. The regular show hours continue Friday from 10 am to 8 pm, and Saturday 10 am to 5 pm. Admission runs $10 each day or a two day pass for $15 and can be purchased at the door. This year we welcome as our very special guest, Jill Peterson, author, American country stylist, and Editor of the popular magazine, A Simple Life. Show-goers can meet and visit with Ms. Peterson at the Magazine Showcase Booth decorated in the style of a country log cabin and located in the main center aisle of the show. Saturday at 11 am, the tradition of the dealer panel presentation called Speaking from the Heart returns with a focus on specialty collecting. And, don’t miss the ever popular “Under $200 Booth” filled with specially selected quality antique treasures contributed from all of our exhibiting dealers and all priced under $200! As always, the spotlight shines on our outstanding dealers from across the country who work hard to present a wide range of selected antiques and decorative accessories in every price range. Their hallmark is their passion and knowledge, alongside an eagerness to share what they know with every customer! It's contagious, and they know that their customers walk away with a new appreciation and usually a new acquisition to treasure for years to come. To make a truly special weekend, meet your family members or friends for a stay at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel with a special rate for Heart of Country customers.
