On Saturday, August 23, 2008, the Pomfret Proprietors association will sponsor the 2nd Annual “What’s It Worth?" event where you can ask an expert about the value of your antique/collectible.
The appraisals will be held at the Pomfret School's Strong Field House from 9:00AM to 1:00 PM.
Grogan & Company: Fine Art Auctioneers & Appraisers of Boston will provide verbal appraisals. As one of the country's premier regional auction houses, they have held over 100 auctions and sold over 100 million dollars in fine art, antiques, Oriental rugs, silver and jewelry.
Avoid driving to Hartford (where PBS's Antiques Road Show is scheduled on the same date... plus the deadline for ticket applications for that event has passed.). Save time, gas money and avoid long lines by staying closer to home and getting the same quality appraisal -- Michael Grogan has appeared on the Antiques Road Show several times!
The cost is $5 per item with a limit of two. Please bring items that can be easily carried in by hand.
Refreshments will be available, and local businesses and organizations will have booths to acquaint people with Pomfret's numerous assets -- including services, shops and community groups.
Profits will benefit the Pomfret Proprietors Scholarship Fund. Check online at www.VisitPomfret.com for more information. The event is scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Businesses or Organizations interested in setting up during this event can rent a booth for $25. For more information and to register, contact Louisa Jones (email lgjones@pomfretschool.org) at 860-963-6156.

This sounds really interesting.... I have an old family solid silver cross... It has been in my family for several generations... would this be a good place to bring it to get an idea of its value?
