The second weekend in March will feature the Memorial Hall Antique Fair, hosted at the Veteran’s Memorial Hall in Tuolumne. The Hall is at 18375 Fir St., Tuolumne, eight miles east of Sonora.
Days and hours for the event are Saturday, March 11 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Memorial Hall Antique Fair is produced by two sisters: Kristen Kestly and Jennifer Agnes, under the business name Vault Art. They put together two shows a year: one in the spring and another usually mid-October. The two-day Antique Fair is held in the Veteran’s Memorial Hall in the center of Tuolumne. The Veteran’s Memorial Hall is a large depression era building surrounded by a shaded park and lots of parking. The building hosts numerous activities all year long.
This is the 14th year for the Antique Fair and the sisters said they strive to make each antique fair better than the last. The first hour of the antique fair, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, is a preview. Buyers pay $5 for the privilege of shopping that first hour in a less crowded environment. There is no charge to attend other than for those that want the preview opportunity.
