HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Sign ups continue for the Reno County Museum's Appraisal Fair next month as part of Third Thursday tonight.
"I will be at the Toy Depot for Third Thursday to sign people up," said Katie Broker with the museum. "You can come talk to me. We'll be able to get you booked with a spot. If the weather is raining, we may move inside."
It's been several years since Hutchinson has had an appraisal event.
"The Appraisal Fair is a fundraiser for the Reno County Museum," Broker said. "It's our first fundraiser in about 10 years, which is really exciting. It's an opportunity for people to come and have their items valued, their personal items, their treasures. You can come in. We have appraisers from local antique stores. The antique district downtown is really involved in this. We can do jewelry, collectibles, toys, furniture, books. We can even do firearms. There's a lot of things we can value for you."
The event is just a little less than a month from now.
"It's on April 16th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Memorial Hall," Broker said. "We're getting calls from people booking just about every single day now."
The cost is $25 to get two items valued. If you can't make it to Third Thursday, contact Broker at katie@renocomuseum.org.
